Coming Soon….Personal Identification Numbers (PINs)

When you access your Library Account or log in to access databases from off-campus, you will soon be prompted to choose and enter a personal identification number (PIN) so that your library information has increased security. The PIN must be a minimum of four characters long and should not be obvious or easy for others to guess.

This PIN will have to be used anytime you wish to access licensed research databases, online journals, and other electronic resources off-campus; place interlibrary loan requests; place a hold by using the “Request” button; or access “My Library Account”.

Features available from your library account include:

• view items currently checked out,
• track/cancel hold requests on books checked out by different library user(s),
• check on the status of interlibrary loan requests,
• renew items,
• view and pay fines online,
• save catalog search results in your “Preferred Searches”.

Another feature coming soon is the ability to view a Reading History of items you have previously checked out from the library. This will be an "opt in" service and library users may opt out at any time. Watch for more information when Reading Histories become available.
