How to review checkout history and chase overdue books

  1. 1Open "Library" in the sidebar and click the "History" tab under the page title
  2. 2The "Checkout history" page lists every checkout and return, with any damage noted
  3. 3Start with the "Overdue" chip — it carries a live count — then filter with "All", "Textbooks", "Checked out", "Returned", "Lost", "Damaged"
  4. 4Scan the status column — active loans past their due date show a "Past due" badge, and non-good return conditions show a red badge with the note
  5. 5Click a book title to open its detail page and follow up with the borrower shown on the loan

Part of Library, resources & reservations

Barcode labels you print yourself, a scan station for checkout, holds families place from home, shared equipment reserved with dates instead of arguments — and the textbooks, shelf counts, and supply cupboard that come with all of it.
