Your Profile

Reviewing your User Profile

You can add to or change your user profile at any time. Your user profile is a collection of information that is specific to you and useful to your library, including your name, home address, phone number, and e-mail address (optional). If you need to update the information, you can send a request to your library asking them to make a change. You can also add your e-mail address to your profile.

If you need to change the personal information that displays in your account profile, you can submit a request to your library. Your profile may display your name, address, phone number, and other personal information depending on your library. (The personal information that is stored as part of your user profile is determined by your library's system administrator.)

How to Change your Personal Information

1. Log in to your user account.

2. Click the Profile link.

3. Scroll down to the Personal Information section.

4. If the information is incorrect, click Request Change.
   
   HIP sends a message to the library staff indicating that you want to change your personal information. According to the policies and procedures of your individual library, library staff will contact you by phone, mail, or in person to change your personal information.
