Personal Information
Contains general contact information, including your name and address, as well as numbers for phone and fax.Blocks on Your Account
Provides information about why your borrowing privileges may have been suspended. Please contact the Circulation department at your library for more information.Items Checked Out
Contains a list of items you have checked out, including their due dates and statuses. You may renew materials in this section. To do so, mark the check box next each item you wish to renew and click the Renew Items button. If no check boxes display, your library account has been blocked. Contact the Circulation department at your library for more information.You should be certain to verify all renewals in the far right Renewal Status column. That column will display the new due date for each renewed book. However, if the result for a particular book reads Not Renewed, the loan cannot be extended. This may be for one of the following reasons:
- The book has been recalled for another reader.
- The number of consecutive renewals has been reached (you may still renew the book by bringing it to the library for renewal; check with the United Libraries and the Galter Health Sciences Library for their renewal policies).
- Your borrowing card has expired.
- The book has reached a lost (billed) state.
- The book is on reserve for a course.
There may also be some other reason. If you have any questions, please contact the library branch from which the book was borrowed.
