If you have not yet created your own library PIN
1. From the
Mardigian Library's web site (opens a new page), select the "My Library Account" link.
2. Select whether you are "UM-D Student, Faculty, Staff, or Alumni" or a "Guest Borrower."
- "UM-D Student, Faculty, Staff, or Alumni" - enter your last name and your 8-digit UMID.
- "Guest Borrower" - enter your last name and 14-digit barcode.
You may leave the PIN field blank.
3. Click the "Log In" button. This will not actually log you in yet; you will still need to create your PIN.
4. The page will refresh, and you will need to re-enter your last name and UMID or barcode, but this time the form will include two PIN boxes so you can create and verify your new PIN. Your PIN must be at least four characters long and can include letters and numbers.
5. When you click the "Log In" button the second time, you should be taken to your library account.
Changing your PIN
1. Log in to your library account with your current pin.
2. The box in your patron record has a link to "Modify your PIN." Select the link and follow the instructions in the pop-up window.
If you have lost your PIN or need further assistance

- "Guest Borrower" - contact the library at 313-593-5559 or use the Ask-A-Question service.
