How to Renew Items

Online in OneSearch

  1. Login to My Account (requires SFSU ID and password).
  2. On the Loans panel of My Account, if there are no books available for renewal and no renew links, then there is nothing to do!
  3. If you have books nearing renewal, you can renew them all with one click, or one at a time.
  4. If your books are nearing the end of the loan period, and cannot be renewed, time to bring them back!

In Person in the Library

Bring your SF State OneCard and the items to renew to the Book Checkout & Pickup Desk on the first floor of the Library.

Main Collection

Renewals are usually allowed for books and other items in our main circulating collection.

Some items cannot be renewed, including:

  • Items that have already been renewed once.
  • Items long overdue and already billed for replacement. These must be brought to the Library for renewal.
  • Items with loan policies which do not allow renewal, such as reserve readings or material checked out by special permission.

Periodicals

Periodicals may be renewed once, unless requested by another borrower.

Reserve Materials

Reserve materials may not be renewed.

CSU+ Books

CSU+ books may not be renewed.
