3. Navigate to View > Checked Out Items.
4. From the Transaction Number column, locate the title of the request you want to renew and click the Transaction Number link.
5. Click Renew Request. Items may only be renewed on or before their due date. A renewal request will be sent to the lending library.
6. After the renewal request is submitted, a 3-day extension will be automatically granted to give the lending library time to respond.  
7. You will receive an updated email message with the final due date once the lending library approves or denies your renewal request.
