To recall an item in the catalog that is checked out, use the RECALL button on the checked-out item's record in the online catalog.

 If you need assistance recalling a book, please speak with a research librarian or a circulation desk staff member.

 TIP: Instead of recalling the book you need, try your search in ConnectNY: if the book is available there, you're likely to receive it more quickly.

Books that are in our Annex are identified in the online catalog by the location "Annex."  To request a book from the Annex, click on the red button at the top of the record and log into your account to complete your request. 

If you make a request before 1:30 p.m., the book should be available the next day (M-F).  You will receive an email notifying you when the book is available.  You may pick it up at the Circulation & Reserves Desk.

If you have any questions about this process, please contact a research librarian at reference@vassar.edu or x5766 (845-437-5766).
