My Check-out History is an optional service that allows you to maintain a history of items you have checked out from SFPL. You may opt in to or opt out from this free service, or remove any or all titles from your Check-out History, at any time. Opting in to this feature constitutes explicit consent to the storage of your Check-out History from the date you opt in. Library personnel will not access or release your Check-out History unless required by law to do so. Users may opt out of this service and delete Check-out History at any time.
To Opt In
- Log in to your Library record in the Classic Catalog (use the Log In button).
- When you click on the My Check-out History link for the first time, you will see a button labeled Turn On Check-out History
- Once you have opted in, the system will begin maintaining a history of the items you check out. Unfortunately, at this time the system cannot include LINK+ interlibrary loan, eBooks, or eMedia items in your Check-out History. Also, please note that the system cannot retroactively access your Check-out History, so you will only be able to view titles checked out after you've opted in.

- Click on the My Check-out History link.
- You can delete any or all of the titles in your Check-out History by using the checkboxes and "Delete Marked" or "Delete All" buttons. Deleting items will remove the record of your checkout from the libraries' server. This action is irreversible.
