Borrower Information
When reviewing your borrower information in MyAccount,
you have several options.
Determine Due Dates
Materials that you have checked out are grouped by
owning library, and then, within the group, by date. You will be able to
renew items from the IVCC library and from other I-Share libraries. However,
if an item reaches the renewal limit (which varies from institution to
institution), if the item has the status of lost, or if the item has been
recalled, you will not be able to renew it and should return it to the
library.
Renew Items
You may renew items from IVCC and other I-Share libraries
through MyAccount. To renew an item:
1)
Check the box to the left of the item title(s).
2)
Click “Renew Selected Items”.
3)
Review item status messages for notices that items could not be
renewed and/or to see the new due dates.
Status of Requested Items
After placing a request in the Online Library Catalog,
the status of the request can be seen in MyAccount. If you want to cancel a
request before it is processed, you can do so by checking the box to the
left of the title and then clicking “Cancel Selected Requests”.
The status of the item you requested will have one of
the following:
1)
Outstanding – the library receiving your request has not yet
retrieved the request from the computer.
2)
Pending – the library receiving your request has retrieved the
request and they are locating the item to send.
3)
In Transit – the library receiving your request has found the item
and it has been sent to IVCC.
4)
On Hold – IVCC has received your item and you can pick it up.
Fines
If you owe any fines, they will be listed here. You
may pay your IVCC fines in the library at the Circulation Desk. If you owe
fines to other I-Share libraries, you will receive a bill in the mail from
them and you pay them directly.
Assistance
If you have any questions or need assistance in using
MyAccount, please call Jacobs Library at 224-0306.
