If an item in the catalog is marked as Loanable, that means you're allowed to borrow it. Most books are loanable, except reference books and a few other special cases. 

If the item’s location says something about Reference, Periodicals, Non-Circulating, or Reserves, you can only use it inside the library, and you cannot request that it be sent to a different campus.

If an item in the catalog is marked as In Place, it should be available on the shelf and checked out or requested. 

If an item in the catalog is marked as On Loan, someone has already checked out this item. It should not be on the shelf. You can request an item that is on loan, and it will recall that item from the person who currently has the item checked out. However, they will be given two to four weeks to return the item. It is often better to request a different copy through GIL-Express first, as a different copy will likely be returned faster.

For more help or to go through this process, ask a librarian.
