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
To increase the security of library user personal information (see the library's User Privacy Policy), the library is now requiring users to create a personal identification number (PIN). The PIN is in addition to the user's name and 8-digit UMID (or barcode for Guest Borrowers). It 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.
Periodically, the library conducts fire and tornado drills. Why do we do this? Primarily, there are two reasons.
1. In an emergency, one is less likely to go into shock or a state of panic if one has rehearsed what to do. Our goal is to make sure that everyone in our building knows what to do in case of emergency.
2. We want to make sure that mechanical systems, such as sirens and doors, and communication between library staff and Public Safety are working properly.
Take every alarm seriously and treat it as an actual emergency!
