Viewing Patron History
Click the Patron History tab at the top of the Patron Checkout, Status & Reserves screen to display the Patron History page. The Patron History page provides a summary of the patron’s circulation history and fines/fees history for up to the past five years. The Patron History page shows statistics for Checkout and Notices and a Financial Summary, and also provides access to a listing of Previously Checked Out items (see Viewing Previously Checked Out Items for details).
NOTE: The Previously Checked Out items page is available only if the patron has enabled the Show previously checked out items option (see the Search User Guide for more information).
