An upcoming update to the Enhanced Catalog will see several account options from the Bookshelf bar moved to the new Account Portal. The Account Portal consolidates several account-based features into a single location that can be opened within a new tab or window, and allows you to access and manage checkouts, holds, reading history, fines, saved searches, bookmarks, and account settings.
Accessing the Account Portal is simple and uses the existing account icon at the top right of the catalog page. When you are logged in, you will see the Account Portal link within the account window, and clicking on it will take you to the portal's overview page.
