    • If the box 'Notify me when item arrives' is ticked, place the slip in the Request box.
    • If the box 'Hold for me at the Service desk' is ticked, email the requester to let them know it is available. Flag the book (any colour) with the persons name and email, and sign with your own name and the date. Leave the item at the issue desk on the shelf for requests.
