Holds

A hold can be placed on an item that is due within two weeks. A hold allows the item to be held at the Circulation desk for the requesting patron. Holds cannot be placed on Reserve material.
Patrons who request a Recall or a Hold will be notified by email once the material becomes available. The material will be held for 10 days from the date of notification.
 

Recalls

All material (except audio-visual material or items on Reserve) can be recalled.
The original borrower will receive an email notification about the new due date. Patrons can place recalls online through the West campus catalog or the Health Sciences catalog.
Failure to return a recalled item will result in overdue fines.
 

Recommend a Library Resource

We welcome suggestions for new resources from Stony Brook faculty, students, and staff. Recommendations will be shared with the liaison librarian for your subject area.
