Use discoverE to Recall a Checked Out Item

Use discoverE to Recall a Checked Out Item: Sometimes during the research process you discover a particular title that you'd really like to have, so you enter it into discoverE and click Search, hoping to use it for your paper. You find the listing, but there's one big problem: Someone else already has the item checked out. We've prepared a video to show you how to recall that item so you can use it to complete your own assignment.
