Notifications

Search & History
Click Preferences → Search & History. You can set your search preferences such as default search location (which library you’d like to search, usually) and how many search hits you see per page. You can also set your preferred pick-up location for holds and opt-in to keep your history of checked-out items and holds.
If you choose to keep your history of checked out items/holds, everything you check out/request from the time you opt-in will show up under the Check Out History section of Items Checked Out or the Holds History section of Holds. The staff at the library does NOT have access to your check-out history or holds history.
Privacy Waiver
You can allow others to use your account to place holds, pick up holds, check out items, or view borrowing history. In Search and History Preferences, towards the bottom of the table there is a section to Allow others to use my account.
You can put the name of the individual and check off the actions they are allowed. Click Save. The page will reload and another field will appear if you want to add someone else.
| The privacy waiver is for display purposes. This will also show on the staff side of Evergreen. |
To delete someone off your privacy waiver, uncheck all boxes under their name and click Save.
