Online using My Library Account
We email a receipt for all books checked out, indicating the due date for each item. These dates may vary with item type. Should you be billed for an item and later return it, there’s a non-refundable service charge of $10.00 per item. Various notices will be sent out reminding you to renew or return your books before a bill is generated. Hourly overdue fines are charged for some short-term loan materials, such as Course Reserves.
My Library Account gives you access to your library account. You may view items checked-out or requested, renew materials, view fines, and view saved items and searches.
Current CU students, faculty and staff: Use your Identikey username and login to sign-in.
Public patrons: Please email us at libraries@colorado.edu for a password reset following our recent library catalog system migration. You'll use your card number as the password and username after the reset.
You may access your account by selecting the link 'Your Account' at the top of the Library Catalog window.
