You will be prompted to enter your name and your university I.D. number (obtainable from the Circulation Office or Security for RU patrons) or your barcode number from your I.D. card (for Cornell/MSKCC patrons). Your request will be sent to the circulation staff and the book will be recalled for you. You will be notified when the book has been processed for pick up.

Type in your name and your university I.D. number (obtainable from the Circulation Office or Security for RU patrons) or your barcode number from your I.D. card (for Cornell/MSKCC patrons). You may then view the items that you have charged out, renew items (as long as they are not overdue), display fines, and view any items on hold.
