You can find out all of this in the catalog record, in the Local Holdings section shown in an individual record.
First, it’s important to understand what to avoid.
When you do a search and get more than one record, you will not have enough information to get the book. You must click on an item you want!
You don’t know if this is on loan.
This could be in Reserves, in Reference, or someplace else.

It will tell you where it is, if it’s on loan and what it is.
