Library Orientation Guide: Books

Checking Out Books

How can I check out books during the semester?

You are welcome to come in anytime during our open hours to view our print collection on the 2nd floor of the library or to use our computers to access our library catalog to search for eBooks. To access eBooks from off-campus, use our library catalog to search and then log in using your MyCI credentials to access eBook content. All of our electronic resources, including eBooks, are available 24/7 from both on and off campus. For Reserve textbook check-out information, see our "Reserves" tab. 

Search for Library Books

 

Use OneSearch to search across all library resources. Narrow your results to books by using the options in the "Refine my Results" bar on the left.

For print books, select "Available in the Library" under the "Available at Broome Library" section. This removes the ebooks from your results list and leave you with print book options.

To see both eBooks and print books in your results list, look for "Books" under the "Resource Type" list.

Accessing Your Library Account

How can I update my library account or check when my books are due?

You can update your library account or check your current loans by signing in to your library account through the Library Catalog.

You can sign in in the upper right hand corner       

 

You will be prompted to sign in with your MyCI login.

Once you have signed in, click on the arrow next to your name to view your account options and select either "My Library Account" or "My Loans."  This will allow you to update your account and/or show you all of the current loans on your library account.
