How to Recall Items Through the Minerva Online Catalog

Access the Minerva Online Catalog. Search for the library item you want. If the item is on loan, you may recall the item. Items on loan have a date due in the Status column. [Some items are ineligible for recall; see Recall Services for details.]
Click the Recall this item option.
Enter your NetID/Barcode to identify yourself and to enter My Library Account.
- If you are dumped immediately back to the main search screen, then your NetID/password or Barcode/password combination were incorrect. Try again or go to My Library Account Help.
From the Create Recall Request window:
- Choose the pick-up/delivery location [University, Science, or Dewey Libraries].
- Enter the date the item is not needed after, such as end of semester [default is six months from current date].
Click Go button.
Check for the confirmation message at the top of the screen ("Your recall request was received.")
The current borrower will receive a notice indicating the item has been recalled and must be returned within fourteen days.
You will receive a notice when the item is returned and available for pickup. Items will be held for ten days.

Users are limited to ten active recall requests. To delete pending requests if no longer needed:

Access the Minerva Online Catalog.
Select My Library Account and log on. [For instructions on accessing My Library Account, go to the My Library Account Help page.]
Select the Recall Requests option.
Click the underlined number next to the recall request you wish to delete.
Scroll to the bottom of the request details screen.
Click the Delete button. Caution: there is no Undo option!
