How do I renew a book?
Answer
To renew a physical book that you checked out from the LRC:
- Sign into the LRC website.
- See the link below for steps: How do I sign into the LRC website?
- Once signed into the LRC website, click on Powersearch.
- This will open a new tab to Powersearch. In the upper right corner, click Sign in.
- A prompt will appear, "Login using:". Select USU-SSO.
- Powersearch should recognize you as already logged into your USU-SSO account, and should take you back to the Powersearch screen -- except now, in the upper right corner, it will display your name instead of "Sign in".
- If it takes you back to the USU Single Sign On screen again, simply log in again.
- At the Powersearch page, click on your name in the upper right corner, and then click on My Loans.
- Powersearch will display a list of your currently check-out items.
- Click RENEW next to each item you would like to renew.
- Or, click RENEW ALL above the list of items.
Most items in the LRC collection initially check out for 8 weeks. Each renewal extends the loan by another 4 weeks, up to a maximum of 24 weeks (about 6 months).
If an item is listed as "NOT RENEWABLE", or if you have any other questions, please contact LRC staff for assistance.
