Emory University Libraries Alma Documentation

Collaborative repository of Emory University Libraries documentation with a focus on Ex Libris's Alma.

Documentation that is general enough to apply to any EUL library will be named by activity, e.g. Suppress a Bib Record; documentation that represents a library's specific, local practice will be preceded by the short name of the library, e.g. Woodruff - Gift Book Collections.

Place request at the item level

Follow these instructions if you'd like to request a specific item compared to making a title level request. When you normally place a request in Alma, you have to place it at the title level and Alma determines which items can be requested based on the patron type and item availability. However, if you want to specify which item to request, you can follow the instructions below

Important: You must first copy the barcode for the specific item you want to request by conducting a title search.

Select Physical Items in the Persistent Search. Paste the barcode.

Select Request under the item result.

Place the request as you normally would.
