Library Catalog: Viewing Your Library Record



To look at your Case Western Reserve University library circulation record, choose the "View Your Library Record" option on the main Library Catalog page. The system will ask you to enter your name and social security number. As an added security feature of the online system, you will be asked to enter your PIN (personal identification number). After you enter the information click on the "Display Record for Person Named Above" button.

Once you have entered all of the above information correctly the system will display a summary of your circulation record, including your address and telephone number.  If any of this information is incorrect, please notify someone at the circulation desk. It is also wise to make sure that the registrar has the correct information on file.

The system also displays the number of items you currently have checked out, the number of holds if any (this will include OhioLINK requests), and any fines you may owe. You can click on any of those underlined options for more detailed information.

If you click on Items Currently Checked Out you will get a display of the titles checked out to you, along with the due date and the call number. If it is close to the due date you may click on the renew box to renew your book(s). Books can only be renewed once. Then you must return them to the lending library and check them in. If there are no requests for the title, you may check it out again.

If you click on the Requests (hold) Outstanding entry then you will get a list of holds you have placed. If the hold is for an OhioLINK book you will get a message as to its status. 

OL REQUESTED means that your request is being processed. 
IN TRANSIT means that your book is on the way from another OhioLINK library.  
OL RECEIVED (along with a library location) means that the book has been checked in and is ready for pickup at that library. 

You may also cancel holds on this screen by clicking on the cancel box.  If the hold is for a Case book you will be able to see the date that the book is expected to be returned.

If you click on the Fines and Bills entry you will get a brief explanation of the fines and charges on your record.  Check at the circulation desk of any campus library for more detailed information.

Click on "Modify your PIN" if you want to change your PIN at any time.
