Resource pages
On the resource page, you can place holds and find bibliographic information, details about where to find copies, and recommendations and reviews from other patrons.
- To place a hold, click Place Hold under the cover image. Choose the library and a particular copy. After you place the hold, you'll receive an email when it's ready for pickup.
- Click to recommend a resource (and click it again to rescind your recommendation). You can also post reviews.
My Profile
My Profile shows your Library-related activity—circulation and reviews.
- If you're a staff-level patron, you can export your own library card. If you're a student- or faculty-level patron, your school ID card (available on your regular Populi profile) doubles as a library card.
- Under Loans, you'll can find a complete history of all the resources you've ever checked out. You can renew currently checked-out resources; if you have fines, you'll see those listed next to overdue/lost loans.
- Under Holds, you'll see anything the library is currently holding for you. If you need to, you can cancel the hold.
