Catalogue Quick Tips
What is my User ID?
Your User ID is the barcode or the number on your library card

What is my PIN?
Your PIN is your unique, personal identification number
If you already have one you will not need to change it
If you are not sure of your PIN, please ask a member of staff

How do I RENEW my items?
Log in to your account using your User ID and PIN
Click on the My Account button
Click on Renew My Materials – from here you can either choose to renew all your loans or select which individual items you would like to extend

How do I place a HOLD on an item?
Search for the item you wish to place on hold
Once you have found the item, click the Details button to the left of the title
Once you are in the Item Information screen, click Place Hold (this is found to the left of the title information)
Unless you are already signed in you will need to enter your User ID and PIN
Select the library which you wish to pick the item
You will be notified when your item is ready to collect

Can I 'suspend' my held items?
We regret that the ability to suspend items on hold is temporarily unavailable.
This is due to a computer problem outside our control. The problem has been reported and will be fixed as soon as possible. In the meantime however you may find that your suspended holds have been reactivated which may result in you receiving items out of order, or at a time you are not ready for them. We apologise for this inconvenience and will let you know as soon as the service becomes available again.

Please let us know if you are interested in learning more about using iBistro or have any other questions. Talk to a library staff member or phone or email us.
