This page consists of multiple tabs, all which assist users with accessing library services and managing their current loans and requests. Each tab is explained further below:

Overview The landing tab of My Library Card. Includes short overviews of your loans, requests, fines + fees, and blocks + messages.
Loans Shows a list of loans you have taken from the library. This display can be toggled between active loans and previous and historic loans.
Requests Shows a list of all current requests you have placed in the library.
Fine + Fees Shows a list of all your current fines and fees.
Blocks + messages Shows all messages you have received as well as any blocks your account may have from accessing certain library services.
Personal Details A summary of your personal information as it relates to your library card, as well as a drop-down menu that allows you to select your default interface language (English is selected by default). 

If you are a distance student, there is a dedicated unit to support your collection requests. They can be reached by email at infoline@uvic.ca.
