COLD recommends that all CSU libraries stop placing holds and recalls on checked out items.
This policy is in place to ensure the most efficient service is provided to CSU library users.
Patrons will likely receive items faster by requesting them through CSU+ instead of waiting for a local copy to be returned. Having a policy in place discouraging holds and recalls encourages staff and library users to utilize resources available from other CSUs to fulfill their needs in a timely manner.
Patrons are encouraged to place a resource sharing (CSU+ and Interlibrary Loan) request if their home library copy is checked out.
Items that are needed for Course Reserves can still be recalled by library staff.
