Can I recall a book that is checked out to someone else?
Answer
LSU Library used to offer a service that allowed library to patrons to recall items checked out to other patrons. Access Services no longer offers this option. Instead, if LSU Library’s copy of an item is checked out, patrons can obtain a different copy of the item through Interlibrary Loan. Catalog records for items that are checked out contain links for Interlibrary Loan that import the items’ citation information directly into a request form.
In certain rare situations, library staff may recall an item from a patron.
