Unfortunately, we don't have a process for this type of notification.  And reserves cannot be put on hold (which means set aside for one particular user).  If you have access to a computer or smartphone, you can check the status of the item periodically.  As soon as it is returned, the status will change to "recently returned". 

To check the status of a reserve item, please use the following link: https://cscu-wcsu-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/search?vid=WCSU_V1&lang=en_US&sortby=rank  Then search by title and make sure that the drop down menu says WCSU Course Reserves.
