ECC Library FAQs

How do I request items from the library catalog?

Library materials such as books and DVDs will be available for checkout, but you will need to request them first. If you do not have an activated library card (your student ID), please request one using this form. 

Instructions on placing a hold for pickup:

• Search for your item in the library's catalog
• Once you find the book you want, you will see Request underneath the title. 
• Click on Request
• Type in your name (such as Jane Smith) and your library barcode as requested. The barcode is the long number beginning with 2 on the back of your Student ID.  
• Once Circulation pulls the holds, we will call you to let you know that the item(s) is now available to pick up.  Once the call is made you will have one week to pick up that item. Turnaround time for the request is typically 24-48 hours.

Once you come in or pick-up at curbside, students will have the item(s) for 3 weeks.  The due dates will be printed out and placed on a slip in the item that is checked out.

Please note that our website interface has changed, but the catalog search/request process is the same.
