When signed in, your saved items will be associated with your account, and won't be deleted. You can also create lists from saved items for future reference. To save items, choose the Saved button on the upper right corner of the catalog record card. If saved successfully, the star will be navy.
You may view the contents of your Saved Items by clicking on the Saved Items link at the upper right side of the page. You will be able to see everything that was saved and not from a list.
Patrons have the option of creating lists from their Saved Items. Lists are helpful for future reference or to help group research. If there are already saved items ready for grouping into lists, sign in to your account. Go to Saved Items located in the upper corner. Then select the items for a list by checking the items wanted for the list, and unchecking the items that are not needed for the list. Choose Create List from the options above.
Once you choose to create a list, you'll need to name the list, and can add an optional description. You are also able to have a private list by toggling the button underneath privacy. Choose Save to save your new list.
Once a list is saved, you can find it under Saved Lists in the My Account drop down menu.
You can add notations to each item in a list, cite, edit and move items to a different list.

Any patron with an active library account may place a hold. Only law faculty members and law librarians may place recalls and callslips.
A hold ensures that the requesting patron will be next in line to receive material that has been checked out. Any library materials which may be circulated are subject to having a hold placed upon them. Students, faculty, and staff may all place holds. A hold prevents any renewals but allows the patron with the item checked out to keep it the full term of the original check-out.
Only Faculty and library staff may place recall requests. Patrons will be notified via email of any recalled items. Patrons who do not return recalled items within a reasonable amount of time after the recall notification may be subject to demerits.
Faculty may request that any checked in item in the collection be delivered to their mail box in the Faculty Support Services office by placing a callslip request. Faculty will be notified by email when the item is available. Non-law Faculty, non-law students, and OCU staff may also use this service for books, audio materials, and looseleaf materials with fewer than 3 volumes.
To place a hold, recall, or callslip click request on the item's record.
Click Place Hold on an item in circulation. If you are not logged in, you will be prompted at this point. Law faculty will have additional options: Recall and Callslip. Choose OCU Law Library for pickup location.
You will be notified by email if the item is returned before the not needed by date you selected. The default date will be 30 days after the request is placed. You can view all requests under My Account drop-down menu, and choose Requests
