Checkout History Options
If you checked out items at the U-M Library between April 2016 and July 15, 2021 and haven’t made any changes to your preferences, we've kept a record of your checkout history.
- Already have items in your history? New items will be added unless you ask to stop.
- Nothing in your history? We will not add items unless you ask to start.
Requests for interlibrary loans and special collections materials are managed through different library systems. Those records continue to be saved at this time.
Set your preference
Visit your account settings to opt in or out.
If you haven’t made a selection yet, you will see a message at the top of the page prompting you to update your checkout history preference.
You can change your preference at any time under “Settings.”
Download your history
If you have a checkout history, you can download it for reference. You can find this option in your account under “Past activity” or “Settings.”
The file will be in CSV format, which can be opened in any spreadsheet program including Excel and Google Sheets.
Delete your history
If you have items in your checkout history and ask us to stop keeping a record of it, your history will be deleted. This previous history cannot be recovered, even if you opt in later.
