STUDENT TIPS


Your library account allows you to:   
·         Renew books
·         Place a book on hold
·         Create a history list of the books you checked-out
·         Access databases, eJournals and eBooks off campus

Renewing books



This is what your account looks like when you have a book checked-out. To see the items you have checked-out click on Items currently checked out (see image above, link circled in red).



To renew a book simply click on the link 'Renew All' or 'Renew Marked' (see image above).

Creating a reading history list

You can create a list of every book you check-out by clicking into the 'Reading History' link. A reading history is great for citing, as it allows you to find books you have used for your research. And click the 'Opt In' option.





Placing a book on hold

If a book you require has been checked-out by someone else, you can place a hold on it by asking at the library desk or, following these simple instructions:
  1. Click on request (see image 1 below)
  2. Type your student/staff number and four digit pin number into the request verification (see image 2 below).
  3. If they are the correct item, click on 'Requested selected items' 
  4. Image 3 shows what a hold looks like on your account. If you need to cancel a hold request see the links underlined in red in Image 3
