Click on the type of search you would like to do such as Author, Title, Subject, Keyword, etc.

be on a search page.
In this example, you are on a keyword search.

After you click on search, you will see a list of results.
Ignore the Mark column. Do NOT click in the Mark column.
Click on the
words in the list.
You can also limit your search by library.
Click on the arrow to the left of the search button and you will have a pull down list
of libraries.
After you limit your search to just one library, click on search again.
After you have clicked on your selection, you will see where your selection
is located, what the call number is, and the status (if it is available or when
it due).
In this example, the book is in the River Falls Fiction area, the
call number is F Hou, and it is available.
If you want to place a hold on this book, click on the purple Request Item
button

spaces and type only the numbers.
