Overdrive: Automatic Borrowing

If you’d like a hold to be automatically borrowed for you when it becomes available, follow the steps below:

1. Select Place a Hold to place an unavailable title on hold.

2. In the pop-up that opens, make sure that “Automatically borrow this title when it becomes available” is selected.

NOTE: The box is checked by default. If you do not want this feature, uncheck the box.

You can turn automatic borrowing on or off for any title you’ve placed on hold by visiting your Holds page and selecting the [Edit] link under “Auto checkout.”
