Renewing Items


Two types of activities are available in my account. They are Items borrowed / renewals and Requests. To view and/or manage activities in your account, select the activity you would like to manage by clicking on it from the list. In this case, we will look at Items borrowed / renewals first.

Activities


Items borrowed / renewals

Items borrowed / renewals will display a list of the items that you currently have out on loan in due date order. This list will provide you with detailed information about each item including title, due date, the name of the library that owns the book, and the call number.

From this screen, you have the option to renew items. To renew an individual item,

1. select the item number by clicking on the number next to the item you want to renew

2. then click on the Renew link to request a renewal

Renew link

If your renewal is successful, you will see a new due date next to the item you renewed on the Items Borrowed list. Items will be listed in order by new due date.

Items not eligible for renewal include those that have been requested by other patrons, those that have been declared lost by the lending library due to length of overdue status, and those items that have already exceeded their renewal limits.

When you have finished viewing and/or managing the items on your Items borrowed / renewals list, you can end your session or return to my account to view and/or manage your requests.

In the next section, we discuss how to view and manage your requests in my account.
