Checked out
Lists the items you have currently borrowed from the library. For each item, the page shows the date the item has to be returned (Due Date). If you cannot return the item by the time listed, you can ask to extend your loan period, by clicking the Renew button. Items cannot be renewed if you have too many fines (charges) or if the item has been reserved by another patron.

Requested
Lists the items you have requested from the library using the Place Hold option. These can be items currently on loan to a different patron, or items requested from the closed stacks. Each item has an option to remove the hold. This is useful if you no longer need the item, e.g. because your course ended before the book was available. If a requested item is ready for pick up, it will say so on this screen.

Fees
Lists all open charges, as well as the reason for those charges and the items the charges are associated with. Charges can be late fees or bills associated with certain services, such as Interlibrary Loan.

Saved searches
Lists any searches you have saved earlier. You can run these searches again to get up-to-date results.

Profile
Shows your profile information. Please do not change these settings.
