What if the item I need is checked out?

• Recall checked-out item.
  
  
  • Any checked-out item is subject to "recall" after 7 days if someone else asks to use it.
  • Request checked-out items via the library catalog ("Request" button in Cameo), or in person at any circulation desk.
  • When the item is returned, we contact you and hold the item at circulation for you to pick up.
  • Can take 1-3 weeks.

  If the item you need is not available at Carnegie Mellon, you can often borrow it from another library.
