Hi. This tutorial will cover managing your library account. First, you’ll need to log
into our patron account. You can do that one of two ways. First, in the upper right corner,
click on this link to log into your account. You can find this link on any page within
the LINKcat catalog. Or from the LINKcat home page, type in your library barcode, tab down
to enter your password (formerly known as your PIN number) and click on log in.
This will bring up your Summary page. First is everything that you currently have checked
out, including the title, the call number, the due date, possible renewals. Any overdue
items are highlighted in red.
To renew a title, click on Renew for that item and it will be renewed.
Or, to renew all your items, click on the Renew All button found at the bottom of your
checked out list.
Note that two of the four items were renewed. One item is on hold for someone else and one
item had been renewed twice already. Note new due dates and that the number of renewals
remaining has changed.
If you have overdue items, you will see an Overdue tab. Click here to see a list of your
Overdue items.
If you owe any fines, you will see a Fines tab. Click here to see the total amount of
your fines. Click on the dollar amount for a detailed history of fines.
The Holds tab includes a list of all the items you currently have on hold. Briefly, the hold
list includes the title, your pick up location, and status of the hold. We’ll cover managing
your holds list and the My Hold History tab in a separate tutorial.
My personal details tab includes all your contact information. If anything is incorrect
here, please contact your local library to make changes.
Change my password is covered in another tutorial.
My Reading History is disabled by default. You can enable (or disable) Reading History
at anytime by clicking the button next to Yes or No and clicking save. Before enabling
this feature, please read all this information.
My hold history and My lists are covered in separate tutorials.
Need more help? Please visit the LINKcat help page for more information and tutorials or
contact your local library.
Thanks for watching!
