Q. if i forgot which book is on hold how do i obtain that infrmation

You can check up on all your holds through our homepage. Click on "Renew Books" at the top of the screen. This will bring you to a sign-in screen, which will ask for your library card number and your "Name code." Your name code is the first four letters of your last name and the first three letters of your first name (for example, John Smith's Name code would be "smitjoh"). Click the "Sign in" link at the bottom of the page.

Once you log in, you should see a "User Activities" screen. The last option in the "Loan Information/Renewals" section should be a "My holds (when this link is inactive you have 0 holds)" link, which, as the link says, you will only be able to click on if you have any items on hold. From here you can view and edit all your current holds.

You can also access your account information from the catalog by clicking on the "My Account/Renew" button on the left-hand side of the screen. It will take you to the same sign-in window, and you can follow the same steps from there.
