How long does it take for a book to be ready for collection after I request it?

We are unable to put an exact time frame on this as it depends upon whether the book is available in the Library or on loan to another person.
Usually we can process available books to be collected from the same site within one working day, but things will take longer if you've selected a different Library to collect it from.
If it is already on loan, it depends upon the person who currently has the book on loan bringing it back promptly - when you place your request, they will be issued with a recall message and have a week to return the item.
Once the library receives the item we will process it ready for the next person in the queue, which can mean transporting the item to another campus for collection.
Keep a close eye on your university outlook email account (not the mailbox in Canvas) and you will be notified when the book is available to be collected.
