Search Requests and Recalls

If a book you need is not on the shelf, please print the record from I-Share and give it to a staff member at the circulation desk and include your name and telephone number. The circulation staff will determine if the book is checked out, on reserve, missing, etc., and contact you with the status of the search within three working days. If we cannot locate Dominican University's copy, we will automatically request the book for you through interlibrary loan.
