If the item you need is on loan to someone else or is not immediately available at your library, you may ask staff to place a reserve for you. You may also place the reserve yourself at a public terminal or from your personal computer and internet connection. In addition, the public access catalog (PAC) is available via online at http://ipac.librarieshawaii.org. Enter your library card's number and PIN to proceed.

The searching capabilities of this catalog include: basic, advanced, and power search.  You may request items individually or combine them with the "My list" function prior to placing the request. 

PIN NUMBER REQUIRED TO RESERVE ITEMS: Beginning Monday, May 17, 1999, library patrons are required to enter a personal identification number (PIN) before placing a request to reserve library materials. Initially, the PIN is the last four digits of the telephone number which you provided when you registered for your library card. You will be able to change the PIN by accessing the "My Account" function. Please see a staff member if you have any questions about your PIN.

NOTE: Please do NOT place a reserve and then immediately go to the library to pick up the book or other material. If you need the item as soon as possible, please telephone the library which shows an "on shelf" copy BEFORE making a trip. The staff will check the shelves and make sure that a copy is available for you. Please copy down the author, title, and call number before you call the library.
