While it is possible to browse records for the library's physical and electronic holdings without signing in to your account, you will find a more powerful set of features if you sign in to your account. Look for the appropriate Library Account or Sign-in button on the library's homepage or any search results page. By logging in, you can also view the books you have checked out, renew an item, or see what items you've requested.

You should see a red DU login screen like the one displayed below, where you can login with your DU credentials. The login should be the same one you use for My DU.

Once you have successfully logged in, you will see your name appear in the maroon menubar, along with some additional options.   

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: 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.
• Personal Settings: Compass offers a number of advanced setting options for users, including language type, the number of resources to display, and personal information. Users may also select their "career path," which prioritizes results based on academic interest.

If you click on the pushpin icon to the left of your name, you will be taken to your "Favorites." This menu was formerly referred to as your e-Shelf, and allows you to save items and searches for later browsing. You can also categorize items with labels by subject or by class with user-selected labels.
