I am receiving an error message when I try to renew an item. Why can’t I renew the item?
If the item you are trying to renew has been renewed recently, the message TOO SOON TO RENEW will appear within the STATUS column of the item record, along with the original due date. You will not be able to renew the item if the item has been renewed recently. Materials that cannot be renewed online must be renewed at the Circulation Desk, within the Shepard
Broad Law Library.
If the item you are trying to renew has been renewed previously online, the message TOO MANY RENEWALS will appear within the STATUS column of the item record, along with the original due date. This item cannot be renewed online, by phone, or in person. |
