A window will open that lists all of your open support tickets.
You can search for a specific ticket using the search bar at the top, or filter tickets based on their status or topic (request type) using the filters at the top.
How to submit a new support ticket through the Help Center
There are three portals in the Help Center that you can use to submit a new support ticket with us:
General Support: Ask us a general question, ask about member services, ask about access to a particular volume, or report a problem with the website, such as login issues.
Catalog Quality: Report a quality problem with a catalog record, such as a typo in the title, or digital scans that don’t match the catalog record information.
Content Quality: Report a quality problem with the digital scans for a particular volume, such as missing pages or blurry text.
Once you select one of these portals, the next screen will depend on the portal you selected. In the Catalog Quality or Content Quality portal, you will be given a choice of sub-topics. Clicking on one of them will take you to a form you can fill out to submit a ticket. For example, here are your choices in the Catalog Quality portal:

You will then be taken to a list of sub-topics:
Clicking on one of them will take you to a form you can fill out to submit a ticket:
Once you are finished filling out the required fields (at minimum) in the form, click on Send to submit the new support ticket.
