Account Menu
Here is a brief description of each of the navigational menu tabs of my account:

  • Queries: Use the Queries feature to view your previous searches.
  • My Account: This is the general heading for a number of different services within the Primo My Account Menu.
Here is a general description of each feature within My Account:
  • Loans: This option allows users to view their currently checked-out items, along with the expected due dates for each item. Users may requests renewals from this menu for individual items as well.
  • Requests: Interlibrary loan and hold requests are listed here.
  • Fines & Fees: Any fines or fees associated with a user's account will be listed here, with a brief explanation of each.
  • Blocks & Messages: It is rare that a user will have an account block, but any issues with an account will be listed here.
