How to Place a Hold on an Item in WorldShare


  1. When searching for an item in WorldShare, click on the item title to view the whole record. To put a hold on the item, click on the Place a Hold button on the right side of the item holdings information (see example below). 

  2. Enter student/faculty/staff username and password when prompted. (Hint: same as Blackboad login). 
  3. Choose a library pick-up location (if applicable), then click submit


IVC Library Circulation Policy for Holds:
  • Patron will be notified via email (the campus email) and by phone once the item is available for pick-up.
  • Items are held at the Circulation Desk for 7 calendar days.
  • If an item is not picked-up by the expiration date, an email notice will also be sent to notify the patron that it is no longer on hold.

Students using MyMathLab

Many students are accessing MyMathLab with the lab computers.  The site does not display well with Internet Explorer. If you help students use Mozilla Firefox for MyMathLab, it should work just fine.
