Getting Library Books

How do you get a book once you find a reference to it in OneSearch?

If it's supposed to be at a UH Library:

If its location is UH Manoa Hawn/Pac Library, log in and click on the "Request Specific Copy" link. Pick up the book at the Hawaiian and Pacific Collections reading room circulation counter.
If its location is in some other UH Library location, go to the library and get it.
If it's not on the shelf, ask someone to help you find it.
If we can't find it, ask us to borrow it from somewhere else.

If it's at another library:

Request an interlibrary loan.
