Viewing Your Record

740-245-7005 / Hours: 740-245-7395 / refdesk@rio.edu

By selecting this option from the RioCat Main Menu, you can find out what you have checked out and when it is due (or whether its overdue) by choosing "Display CHECKED OUT items". You can also check to see if you have any fines pending by choosing "Display FINES" or even if the books you ordered from OhioLINK have been shipped and/or received at Davis Library for pick up by choosing "Display HELD items".

When you choose "View your Circ Record" from the RioCat Main Menu, RioCat will ask:

1. For your name, first and then last. Example: Joe College

2. Then your student ID number (e.g., 123456).

3. Your library PIN is set up initially to consist of the last four digits of your Social Security Number.  To enhance the security of your record, it is strongly recommended that you change your PIN at your earliest convenience. Simply select "View your Circualtion Record from RioCat's main menu and then "Modify your PIN" or click HERE to get to the page directly. Your PIN can be any word and/or numbers (up to 32 characters), it's completely up to you. Whatever you decide, though, your PIN needs to be something you will be able to easily remember since you will be prompted for it each and every time you want to access your circulation record).

NOTE: Your Davis Library PIN is also required when you want to use OhioLINK databases from off-campus). When trying to access OhioLINK research databases from your home using your local Internet Service Provider (ISP), for example, you will need to "Authenticate" that you are a valid Rio Grande student. You will be prompted for your name, student ID number (e.g. S123456), AND your PIN. Without your PIN, the authentication process will fail and you will not be allowed access to the databases at that time.

4. After you type it in (no characters will show on the screen as you type) and press ENTER, RioCat will ask you to retype your PIN to confirm it is correct. Then press ENTER.

5. Follow the menu at the bottom of the screen to view your record and/or to print. When you're through viewing, press "Q" to quit back to the RioCat Main Menu.

Your PIN will prevent anyone else from viewing your record. Each time you view your record after the first time, you will be asked for your PIN. Don't forget it!
