To view additional information, use the specific headers to navigate to more detailed screens. For example, if I wanted more information about my checked out items, I would select the header for "loans." Use the "renew all" button on the overview or loans pages to renew all items, or select specific items to renew from the loans page. On the loans page, you can also use the "sort by" feature to see your checked out items by newest due date, oldest due date, or title.
