Note that BIMCO accounts are provided to students physically attending courses at WMU only.

Please note that if you have not clicked the activation link in your e-mail within an hour upon receipt of your login credentials, you will have to recover your account via this link.

Catalog account

This account can be used to check what material you have borrowed. You can also use it to renew printed materials you have checked out. You can log into this account using your WMU gmail. 
You may renew items up to 5 more times after the original checkout, unless the material is on short loan or a hold request has been placed by another patron.

Two days prior to an item's due date, you will receive an email notice with a link for you to the renewal form.

Click the link, login in with your user library catalog name and password, or click the link to login with your WMU Email account. If you are already logged into the catalog, you will see your name in the top right corner.

Clicking your name will take you to your personal "user services" area, which allows you to see what you have checked out, see your checkout history, and see items you have placed on hold (after the current user returns them to the library). Note that catalog accounts are provided to students physically attending courses at WMU only.
