Open-shelf (DMU collection) items may be renewed five times. Reserve and Board collection items may be renewed twice. After the fifth renewal, we ask that you return the item to the Library. You may check the item out again at that time as long as there is not a hold or conflicting booking on it.
Several options are available for renewing items:
Once you are in your account, click on “Items currently checked out”.
Select the item(s) you would like to renew and click the Renew button.
If the item has a hold on it, ON HOLD will appear in the status box, and the item will not renew.
Please Note:
If you send an email requesting a renewal over the weekend, your request will be read on the next business day, but will be processed as of the date that the request was sent.
