In this tutorial we’ll demonstrate how to access
our library accounts, and use them to renew
items or request books from other libraries.
0:00:07.066,0:00:12.000
The things we'll be discussing in this tutorial
require an activated library card. If you have not
0:00:12.000,0:00:20.000
yet activated your library card, you can do so
by bringing your City Tech ID to the library's
circulation desk.
0:00:20.000,0:00:28.000
Begin on the library website. If you're unfamiliar
with using the library catalog, take a moment to
explore, or watch the tutorial entitled "Finding
0:00:28.000,0:00:32.066
Books, Multimedia and More in the Library
Catalog.

You can log in to your account from the home
page, here, with the bar code from your
activated City Tech library card. One you’re in
0:00:38.033,0:00:42.033
your account, you'll see a list of whatever items
you have checked out. If you would like to renew
a book, you can do so by selecting the item
0:00:42.033,0:00:46.033
or items from your list.
Be aware that books that are overdue and books
0:00:46.033,0:00:55.000
that have been requested by another user can
not be renewed online, so you'll need to return
your book to the library before you can attempt
0:00:55.000,0:00:59.000
to check it out again.
If you would like to request a book from another
0:00:59.000,0:01:03.066
library, or place a hold on a book that is already
checked out, you can do so with your account.
0:01:03.066,0:01:07.066
To do this, you will first locate the book in the
catalog.
