See what books I have checked out and renew them
By Telephone
You can renew books over the telephone, although because of privacy issues we cannot tell you what books you have checked out over the phone. Our circulation department phone number is: (217) 333-3477. We can renew books from UIUC libraries only over the phone.
Online
To check your account and renew books online:
1. Click on the My Account link. This is available on the left of all Undergrad Library pages, as well as on the main catalog page.
2. On the My Account page:
- Choose your "Home ILCSO library" (UI at Urbana-Champaign)
- enter the 14 digit library borrower ID from your ID card (a number that starts with 2011…)
- enter your last name
3. If the system accepts your information, you will be taken to a page where you can see what books you have checked out, renew those you would like to keep longer, confirm the status of requests you have placed for items from other libraries, etc.
Note that some items borrowed from libraries other than UIUC may not be renewed.
Note that if you have returned books from libraries other than UIUC, they may show up in your account for some time due to shipping delays. At peak return times (like the end of the semester), even UIUC books may show up on your account for some time after you return them.
- Certain books cannot be renewed. For more information, visit the main library renewals page.
- More information about MY Account can be found here.
- If you are having problems getting into your account, renewing books, or using other features of the page, please ask for help.
