Accessing the Library Catalog:
To access the catalog, simply click on the “MEI Library Catalog” button on the left side of the screen. The simplified link is: bit.ly/meimidlibrary
You should be automatically logged into your account at school. However, if not, you can login using the same username (your MEI Schools email address) and password as your Schoology or MEI Office365 account.
Not sure what your password is or need it to be reset? Ask the Librarian.
You can now search the library catalog, but you will need to login to your account to Reserve a book or check your personal information.
My Account:
Now that you are logged in, select the My Account option at the top of the page. This is the spot to see what library books and textbooks you have checked out, on Loan. You can also Renew library books you have on Loan, see what you have placed a Reserve on, and check your library Fine total.
MEI Middle Library and textbook fines are paid via School Cash Online.
Fines are 25 cents per day per item so please check your account regularly to avoid fines!
To renew items, make sure you have selected the My Account tab.
Click on the Loan button to see what books you have out. Select the Renew button beside the title of the item you wish to renew. If the item is on hold for someone else you will be unable to renew it. You can renew certain items up to 3 times so only press renew when necessary to avoid fines.
It is very important that you return or renew any overdue items to avoid large fines! If you have lost a book please come to the library so we can mark it as lost so fines do not accumulate.
To “Reserve” a specific item, begin by searching in the catalog. Once you find the item you want, click on the title and you will see a “Reserve” button on the right of the screen, click on this and it will add the item as “reserved” to your account. If it is not available, you may have to wait several weeks for your book. Please make sure to come to the library when Ms. Burritt sends you an email through your Office 365 account.
