  Step 8: My Library Record
   
 

Your library record is the best-kept secret at Xavier! It provides the following information:

  • The items you have checked out
    • The title and author of the item
    • Call number
    • Barcode number
    • The date each item is due
    • How many times each item has been renewed
  • The items you have placed on hold (OhioLINK requests)
  • XPLORE searches you have saved
  • The status of any outstanding OhioLINK requests (holds)
    • Requested (you submitted the request)
    • In Transit (on its way to Xavier via the state-wide courier system)
    • Received (you can pick it up in Xavier's library)
  • Your fines if you have any

The most important thing you can do in your library record is renew items that are going to be overdue, are now overdue or recently became overdue. You can then renew these items right in your library record! You can renew items 7 days before they are overdue and 7 days after they are overdue. You even get a reminder in your Xavier email account to do this, complete with a link to your library record. How easy is that!

To satisfy this step complete the following tasks. Be sure to have your MyXU username and password handy.

  1. Go to the library's website at http://www.xu.edu/library/
  2. Click the XPLORE/OhioLINK tab. Click My Library Record under Other Resources .
  3. Enter your MyXU username in the first textbox
  4. Enter your MyXU password in the second textbox.
  5. If this does not work, call the Research Help Desk at 513 745-4808 and they will troubleshoot your problem.
  6. If you successfully requested OhioLINK materials in the previous step, you should see them displayed in the middle of the screen in your library record.
