With Parkland Library's conversion to ILCSO's ILLINET Online database, library patrons are now able to monitor their library accounts using a feature called "MyAccount."

What is MyAccount? It is a new way to access information about your library account: items checked out, the status of each item, due dates, renewing material, reviewing charges and tracking pending requests.

How do I use MyAccount? It's easy! Go to the Parkland Library catalog: http://library.ilcso.illinois.edu/prk/ on the Web. Click the link to Parkland College. Now click on "MyAccount" at the top of the page. Parkland is the default for your home library. You'll key in your Parkland ID number and your last name.

Keep in mind:

Not all material is renewable. If you are not able to renew Parkland material, you can check the Loan Periods on Parkland Library's webpage. (Or on the Library's homepage, click "Access Services" in the left-hand column.)
If you borrow from other ILCSO libraries, their rules apply to you, including loan periods and fines.
You will receive overdue notices through email, usually your Parkland email account. If you are a registered Parkland student you already have a Parkland email account. Please check your email account often. See a librarian if you need assistance.
When visiting the Library your Parkland ID card is required to borrow items. It serves as your Library card and is verification that you are a currently enrolled Parkland student. Your Parkland ID will also permit you to borrow material if you are on-campus at the other 64 ILCSO members. You may also be asked for other identification.
If you are concurrently enrolled at the University of Illinois and are on site at the Parkland Library, please use your Parkland ID card.

Hopefully this has helped you get more acquainted with MyAccount. If you have any questions please stop by Parkland Library or give us a call: Access Services, 351-2223 or Information Services, 373-3839.
