How do I request multiple items from the catalog at once?

Monday, January 9th, 2012

The new version of Encore now allows users to request multiple items at once.  Just place each item in My Book Cart by clicking Add To Cart below each item.  When you have selected all the items you wish to request, click on My Book Cart at the top right of the screen.

Once you are in My Book Cart, click Request at the top left.  A box will appear; review your items, add a deadline if you have one, and click Submit.

You will receive an email when your items arrive at the library.  Please note that the average delivery time for Available items from the Hampden Center is 2 hours.  If the item you request is checked out, the library will attempt to find a copy for you through Prospector, which takes 2-4 days.
