Question

Q: How do I renew my books online?

Answer

These instructions work for both KSU books and books received through GIL Express. For items received through ILL, see our renew Interlibrary Loan (ILL) books FAQ.

Online renewal process

  1. On the library webpage use the Useful Links on the left side. Select Library Account.
  2. Choose either "Faculty & Students" or "KSU Community Borrowers."
    • KSU students, faculty, and staff can log in using their NetID and password.
    • KSU Community Borrowers should log in using their primary ID number or barcode as their NetID. For more instructions on logging in as a community borrower, see this FAQ for directions.
  3. When you have signed in, you should go straight to your library account page. If you didn't go to your library account page:
    1. Click your name in the upper-right corner.
    2. Click "My Library Account" in the top menu bar.
  4. On your library account page, click "Loans" underneath "My Library Account."
  5. Click "Renew" to renew books individually. If you have more than one book checked out, you can also renew all your books at once by clicking "Renew All."
  6. To renew GIL Express books, choose the USG school that owns the the book from the drop-down menu next to "My Library Account," then follow steps 4 and 5.
    • Please note that your loans and requests are listed under the school that owns the book. If you do not see the book(s) that you have checked out, check the list of schools on the left side of the page.

  • Books are on hold for another patron.
  • The end of the semester expiration date has been reached.
