Bring your books back on time - My Record Feeds

My Record Feeds allows you to subscribe to RSS news feeds from your Library record in the Library catalogue in the same way that you subscribe to feeds from the BBC or journals.

The feeds will tell you about:

  • Books you have reserved that are ready for you to collect
  • Books due to be returned soon
  • Books due back today
  • Books that are overdue (hopefully you won't need this)
  • Books that have been recalled
  • Any fines or fees incurred in the last 24 hours (we hope there won't be any)

Subscribe to My Record Feeds by clicking on the link in Your Library Record. If your browser does not support Live Bookmarks, copy the URL from the link in your record (right-click > copy shortcut) and paste it into a feed reader. You can find our more about subscribing to feeds and feed readers on the library RSS Feeds page.

Once you have subscribed, your feed will appear as Your Library Record News in your browser or feed reader. Your news feed will then be updated as soon as any of the above events occur in your record. The feed contains a title and a link, eg. Materials ready for pickup on hold shelf. The link takes you directly to the relevant section of Your Library Record to see the full details. You will need to log in to Your Library Record with your MWS username and password at this point, if you have not already done so.

If you want to find out more about My Record Feeds or RSS feeds in general and how they can help you keep up to date please talk to your Subject Librarian.
