Customize your Search & History Preferences

Can’t remember that great book you checked out a few months ago? Want to only search for items from a specific library? Modify your Search & History preferences to customize your online library account experience.

Step 1: Log In & Access Preferences

To customize your preferences, you must first log in to your account.

  • By default, your username is the same as your library card number.
    • If your username has previously been changed, try using your library card number first.
    • If you are unable to log in, contact your library to reset your settings.
  • Your password will likely be the last 4 digits of your library card.

If you are not immediately directed to your Account page, click on My Account at the top.

From your Account page, click on the Preferences tab and select Search & History from the menu.

Step 2: Change & Save your Settings

On this page, you can adjust settings such as:

  • How many items you would like to see when you search
  • Which library’s collection you would prefer to search from
  • Where you would prefer to pick up your requested items
  • Whether you would like to:
    • Save a history of your checked out items
    • Save a history of your holds
    • Turn off the warning when adding items to a temporary book list
  • Additional users on your library card and their permissions

After you’ve made your changes, be sure to Save your settings.
