In the left menu of the library catalogue's start screen you will see the User information button. The catalogue system provides options for saving selected titles, compiling a profile for regular alerts on new publications, viewing your personal data in the system, making your own reservations and renewing the loan period of books by yourself. In order to make use of these options you require an identity (library card) number and a pin code.
For TU/e students their TU/e student identity number is also their Library membership and borrower's number. If you have a Library borrower's card you can find the number on the card.
If you are not sure about your membership number, contact the Library, tel. 040 247 2224 or e-mail helpdesk.bib@tue.nl

When you return a book to the library, data about the book are disconnected from your personal data. But if you would like to keep record of books you borrowed in the past, you may request activation of your Loan history at the (department) library lending desk. Your book loan data will then be stored from the moment of activation. Loan history is activated on request of borrowers only.
