OneSearch will show you the following types of books:
Note: We cannot borrow ebooks from other libraries. USMAI borrowing is for print books only. You may see ebook results that we do not own in OneSearch. We can help you request print versions of those books!
Example of a print book result at LNDL:
To put an LNDL print book on hold:
1. Click the book title from the results list to get to the detailed book record.
2. On the detailed record, scroll down to the “Request Item” section.
3. If you are not already signed into OneSearch, click “Sign in” and enter your Loyola or Notre Dame email username and password.
4. After you’re signed in, click the “Request” link that now appears under the “Request Item” header
5. When the Request form pops up, confirm that your pickup location is “Loyola-Notre Dame Library (LNDL)” (the default).
6. The “Not Needed After” field is optional. Entering a date here will automatically cancel the request after that date has passed.
7. Click “SEND REQUEST” at the bottom of the form.
8. You will receive an email with instructions when the book is ready to be picked up.
The process for requesting a print book from another USMAI library is similar to putting an LNDL book on hold.
1. Click on the book title from the OneSearch results list.
2. Click “Sign In” on the yellow banner under “How to get it” if you are not already signed into OneSearch.
3. Log in with your Loyola or Notre Dame email username and password.
4. Click “Request from USMAI” under “How to get it.”
5. When the Request form pops up, confirm that your pickup location is “Loyola-Notre Dame Library (LNDL)” (the default).
6. The “Not Needed After” field is optional. Entering a date here will automatically cancel the request after that date has passed.
7. Click “SEND REQUEST” at the bottom of the form.
8. You will receive an email with instructions when the book is ready to be picked up from LNDL. USMAI books typically take 1-3 business days to arrive.
