How can I check my PDF download limit on MyLOFT?

PDF download limits

MyLOFT users do not have direct access within the app to view their PDF download limits. These limits are set and managed by your institution.

Who controls the limits

Download limits are managed by your institution's library or admin and may vary by resource or publisher.

How to find out your specific limits

  1. Contact your institution's library or admin team for details.
  2. When you contact them, provide clear information:
    • Your account name or email
    • The resource or publisher name
    • The date and time of the download attempt
    • The exact error message or attach a screenshot of the message
  3. Ask the admin to confirm the current limit and whether additional access can be granted.

If you need help locating your library or admin contact, check your institution's website or library help pages.
