My record

Introduction

My Record displays information such as loans, requests and demerit points. To access this information you must login. This information is available to you on or off campus

Patron Blocks

The Patron Blocks section indicates why you may be prevented from using some borrowing functions. Any blocks affecting you will be listed separately for each of the three South Australian university libraries. Note that blocks activated at one university library do not apply at the other two university libraries

Blocks will appear when you cannot:

  • borrow additional items
  • renew items
  • place requests

Items on Loan

This section lists everything you have on loan with the due date for each item. If you have borrowed from the other two university libraries in South Australia, these titles will be listed separately within this section. You may also be able to renew some items

Renewing

To renew items you must login to 'My Record'. You can usually renew a loan at least once, unless the item is in one of the categories below. To renew click in the check box in the Renew? column and then select the Renew Items button. To undo, click again in the check box, or click the Reset button.

You will not be able to renew if:

  • a request has been placed on the item by another patron
  • the item is a 4 hour loan
  • you have exceeded your borrowing limit
  • you have a block on your record 
  • you have 60 or more demerit points
  • you are suspended from borrowing
  • you have outstanding invoices for overdue items and/or invoice processing fees totalling $120 or higher

If the renewal was successful you will see the new due date appear in the Renewal Status column. When you login again, the Renewal Status column will have disappeared
