Facilities for members
To check what items you have borrowed, to renew those items, or to request that a title be held for you, visit the library catalogue and select your local branch. Once there, you will find an option called My account. To use the My account facilities, you will be asked to enter:
- your 14-digit library card barcode
- and your four-digit personal identification no. (PIN), which is obtainable from staff in any of our libraries.
Check your account : Overview lets you see at a glance whether you have outstanding items , fines, or requests. For further details of what items are on loan and when they are due back, select Checked out from the top menu.
Online renewals : On the same Checked out window, tick the boxes to the left of each title and select the Renew button to extend the loan. Items can be renewed provided they are not already requested by another library user or if they have not reached their maximum no. of renewals per loan.
Online book requests : After searching the catalogue, library members can request (or place a ‘hold’ on) books or other items of stock by clicking the Request copy button at right of selected title. You then enter your barcode & PIN, before clicking on the final Request button. (You also have the option to add a comment, e.g., “Cancel request if after [date]”). Some items may not be requested for loan, e.g., Reference items.
Please note, to use these facilities, your membership must be current.
