What is "My library"?
"My Library" web application in COBISS+ provides an overview, extension and ordering of material, review and debt limits, e-mail address changes, settings for electronic notification, password changes for COBISS+, and remote access.
Changing the password for access to My Library
A member receives a link to set a password at enrolment. If a member forgets the password, he must contact the library to resend the password reset link.
IMPORTANT:
Password allows students and employees of Faculty of Social Sciences remote access to information resources as well.
The means of access to resources (username) is not the same as the password for the application at computer (AAI Account or Digital Identity), which is maintained in an FSS Web office.
Review of outstanding claims and limitations
If a member can not extend the loan period or book materials this is probably caused by outstanding claims or other restrictions, which you can view by clicking the link Debts and restrictions:
- List of outstanding obligations
These are financial obligations of the member to the library that are not yet settled. If they have borrowed material, which is already overdue, the current amount of demurrage appears (i.e. demurrage, which they would have to pay today if today this material was returned).
- Specific restrictions
These are constraints set by the library to its members for various reasons. Depending on the type of restrictions, certain services provided by the library are inaccessible on the online COBISS/+ application. For example, if a member has been placed on the "prevented rent" restriction, he can't extend the loan period or book material. The "lost card" restriction is informative and does not affect the ability of web services and libraries.
- General restrictions set by the library according to the internal rules of business:
- maximum number of borrowed copies (took home) (15 units)
- maximum number of borrowed copies in the reading room (15 units)
- maximum number of reservations (5)
- number of possible extensions of the loan period for each copy (11)
Electronic information services
ODKJG allows its members the option to receive messages on their e-mail addresses and mobile phones. In "My Library", a member can enter or change email address by clicking the Change link or e-mail address.

How many days before the expiration of the loan period the member will get the notice, depends on the library (default 3 days). The loan period can be extended by a member in COBISS+ online application until it expires.
