Renewing Borrowed Materials: Help

Currently, this service is only available to Yale University users and registered borrowers.

 

Self-renewal of Borrowed Materials
Click on the boxes for items you wish to renew in the  Renew column. Click on the  Renew Items button. For each item checked, you will see renewal response in the right-hand column, with either a new due date or a message that the item could not be renewed.

Tips:
Items are listed in random order, not by due date or by title, so if you have a large number of books, you may need to examine your list carefully to determine which items need to be renewed. Because of renewal limits, don't renew items due far in the future, or you may reach the renewal limit (99) before you are through using the material.

Recalled books and billed books (that is, books that are at least 35 days overdue) cannot be renewed.

Overdue books may be renewed online if your patron record is not blocked, but you will still owe any fines that have accrued.

If your patron record is blocked, you will not see a column on the left with a box to check if you want that item to be renewed, nor will you see a "renew items" button. You will need to contact the library to find out why you are blocked.

Please return items that could not be renewed to the library as soon as possible. For questions about renewal please contact library staff or consult the circulation policies.
