21. How long does it take to download an e-book? The download time depends on the size of the e-book you order and the speed of your internet connection. Download times generally vary between 2 seconds and 2 minutes.
In most cases, libraries buy individual “copies” of digital titles from publishers. Publishers often require that each digital copy is only loaned to one person at a time (just like physical library books). If the wait list is long, let your library know. …
If there is a big waiting list for an item, it will take longer. New items that are still On Order may take considerable time to arrive, as the library often places its orders in advance of publication. When a hold is being sent to your branch for you, it will show in your account as In Transit.
There doesn’t appear to be a limit on the number of items you can place on hold. But you may want to keep in mind that each library card can only check out up to 50 items at any given time– only 10 of which can be DVDs, CDs, audiobooks, or CD-Roms.
Answered By: Robert Harvey. Jun 08, 2020 1660 Holds for items that have available copies (on the shelf in a branch) are filled within 3-4 days. The average time to fill a hold is 22 days, however, popular materials may take longer.
If a book is on hold, it means that it has been requested by a patron. The catalogue will display “+1 hold” if the item is still out to the original borrower. If you have received notification about a hold being placed on a book that you currently have out, it means that there has been a request for that title.
Placing a Hold in the Online Catalog: Click the Place Hold button to the right of the item. A box will pop up on the screen. Select the library where you would like to pickup the item. Click the Place Hold button.
Find your book on the holds shelf using the last four digits of your library card and check it out as you normally would. (You have 7 days to pick the item up before it’s returned to circulation.) You did it! Spread the word about how easy it is and enjoy your book!
An item with the “in transit” status is being transferred from one branch library to another for a request (or hold) or is being returned to its home branch.
If the tracking status of your shipment is “In Transit”, it means that your package is on its way to its final destination. It does not necessarily mean that your package is in a moving vehicle such as an aircraft of truck, it may be at a FedEx facility.
In transit – Item is travelling to its destination and will remain in this stage until delivered. Delivered – Item(s) was successfully delivered.
Two business days for local mail. Three business days within the province. Four days for national mail.
Your package could be stuck in transit for many reasons: loss, damage, or even a USPS tracking system failure. More likely, though, the short-staffed US Post Office has misplaced, mislabelled, or simply overlooked your package. This means it can be located easily enough once you call attention to its absence.
Technically yes, as long as you have a tracking number, it can be stopped and re-routed. However in my experience, very few USPS employees will actually be diligent at trying to find a package in one of the larger POs or processing facilities.
When tracking shows in transit for 4 days that means it is not moving for some reason. The mail peice could be damaged. It could be illegible and lost. The sender of the item should open a complaint request or ecc.
Using the tracking numbers, you can check the delivery status online at USPS Tracking®. If seven (7) or more days have passed since the date of mailing and the recipient has confirmed the item has not arrived, you may either submit a search request for your lost mailpiece on or email us.
