To view your library account details, select your name in the upper corner to view more actions. Then select "My Library Account" from the options.

Once you have logged in, some of the features you will have access to include the following:

1. View what materials you already have checked out and renew materials.

Under Loans, you can view a list of your checked out materials. They are listed by libraries. If you want to view the materials you borrowed from Georgetown University Library, select Georgetown University.

To renew materials, select Renew. Some materials are not renewable.


 

2. View and manage what materials you requested.

Under Requests, you can view a list of your requested materials. Remember, they are listed by the library. To cancel requests, select Cancel. 

3. View and manage your favorites.

Under My Favorites, you can see the materials you pinned during your search. 

You can see the materials you pinned, search within My Favorites, add labels, and unpin what you do not need. 

If you need assistance managing your favorites, please reach out to the library for help.
