When you set up a PIN for your library account (ask any staff person), you may use the PAC to renew items from your home computer.  Hold requests and ILL (inter-library loan) requests may be placed through the PAC as well.  Follow these steps to place a hold through the PAC:
     1. Find the book/item you want in the PAC.
     2. Check the checkbox next to the tilte you want, then click the
         blue "request hold" box.
     3. You can choose "I want the first available copy" or "I want a
         specific copy".  (Please note that it may take a few days to
         receive a book requested from another branch.)
     4. You will be prompted to enter your ID# (library card barcode#)
         and PIN.  Choose your home library (the library where you want
         to pick up the book) from the dropdown list. 
     5. Click "submit request".  A pop-up will appear stating:  "Your
         hold has been approved for: (title).  The hold on this item will
         expire on: (date).  Your home library will notify you when the
         item is ready for pickup".  You will then have 5 business days to
         pick up the item.

Librarians are always available for assistance in using the PAC and answering your questions.
