Log into the Cardiff Portal with your username and password* and click on the Library tab. Look for the Library widget containing the Library and My Account tabs. When you click on the My Account tab a list of the books you currently have on loan will appear. Put ticks in the boxes next to the books you wish to renew and click on Request Renewal.
Remember to check the Due Date column to find out when your book is now due. If the due date has not changed, then it has not been possible to renew the book. This could be because another person has reserved the book or you have fines exceeding £10. You can contact your Library to find out more information, just give us a call!

Point of Care Tools Trial
From the 1st Feb we will have trial access to 4 Point of Care Tools. As well as finding them useful we hope that you will help us in assessing whether we should purchase one and which one it should be.
Please take a look and use each of them freely. All can be accessed using the links below, on and off campus using your Cardiff University username and password.
Point of care information products are marketed as providing up to date information for diagnosis and treatment decisions. They also include information for patients.
We would value your help in evaluating these resources to feed into decision making as to whether we make a University purchase of one of these tools.
Please would you bear in mind when answering our questions
- ease of use
- quality of information in the resource
- comparison with other tools you have used (Cochrane/ NICE etc)
We are currently mainly considering the use of these tools for educational purposes and how it may fit into C21, so we would like you to bear that in mind when assessing the tools.
Feedback via Bristol Online Survey here or alternatively fill in a Point of Care Tools Trial form and return it to healthlibrary@cf.ac.uk
