Borrowing and Renewing Books


Borrowing Books from the UML Libraries

Circulating books may be checked out at the Circulation Desks at Lydon and O'Leary Libraries. You must have a valid accepted library card with you to borrow books.  Reference books and periodicals can only be used in the library building.

The system will not allow you to borrow books if:

  • your Library Card has expired
  • you have overdue books
  • you owe money to the library

Renewing Books at UML Libraries

You can renew books in person, by telephone or online.

ONLINE RENEWAL

  • Go to the library web page, and click on the UML Public Access Catalog (PAC) option.
  • Select the button Your Library Account. You will need to type in both your name and your University Photo ID number.
  • Click on Items Checked Out.
  • To renew all items, click on Renew All Items.
  • All books that are renewed will say RENEWED and will display a new due date.
  • PLEASE REVIEW YOUR LIST CAREFULLY! SOME ITEMS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN RENEWED!
  • The reason for any renewal failure will display. These items must be brought to the Circulation Desk.

The system will block your renewal if:

  • You were issued a card as a "special borrower"
  • Your library card has expired
  • You owe money to the library
  • Your book is on "hold" for another person
  • Your book is being "recalled" to be put on reserve
