Renewing your books

You can renew library books online.

Enter your library number (on your student card) and PIN and click List Items on Loan. If your fines are more than £10 you are not allowed to renew your loans.

Select the Renew All button (or tick the box beside the title you want to renew) and click Renew Selected Items.
The next screen tells you which items have been renewed successfully. Check it carefully, especially if you have a lot of books on loan. You should print it so that you have a record of the new due dates. Alternatively, you can write the new due dates on the date label of the book.
Fines are NOT displayed here; you can check them by clicking My Account again and selecting Review My Account.

You are not allowed to renew if:

• your fines exceed £10 (all accounts are blocked from borrowing or renewing when fines exceed £10)
• you have exceeded the maximum number of renewals allowed (30 times)
• your library membership has expired
• the book is on hold for somebody else

How do I review my account?

Click on My Account in the library catalogue. Enter your library number and PIN and click Display User Information.
The Account Summary is an overview of your library account. It includes only fines due on items you have returned or renewed (known as ‘bills’). Fines on items you still have on loan are shown under the Checkouts tab. Like the Holds and Bills tabs, this appears only when necessary.

Alerts:
An alert that you are Flagged means you have overdue items or bills. You are still allowed to borrow and renew.
An alert that you are Blocked means your fines or bills exceed £10. You are not allowed to borrow or renew until you pay.

Tabs:
The Checkouts tab shows items you have on loan with due dates and any current fines on them. You can also renew your loans here. Remember that the fines you see here:

• will keep increasing until you return or renew the items
• are not included in the Account Summary until you return or renew the items.

The Holds tab shows the items you have on hold and your position in the holds queue.

Available holds can be collected at the Base on level 0 of the Saltire Centre.
You can cancel your holds; tick the box beside the title and press Cancel Selected holds.

The Bills tab shows any previous unpaid bills. These are fines you incurred when you returned or renewed overdue items. Fines on overdue items that you still have on loan do not appear here.
