Placing Holds

Beginning Fall 2015 users will now be able to place holds on books and media items from the catalog. From the library discovery catalog above, simply click the Place Hold button for items within other PALNI libraries. All that is required is to sign in with your MU credentials, click submit, and get ready for delivery of your materials. Once an item is ready for pick-up, an automatic confirmation email will be sent. Try it out with our self-paced guide

Doesn't this sound like Interlibrary Loan? Yes, it is similar but this service, called PALShare, is another way to get items delivered slight faster than ILL. Here's a chart breaking down the difference between the two services.
