My Library Account
Your library account is associated with your Student ID card. You need to have your Student ID card with you when you check out items from the library, such as laptops, calculators, print books, audio books and DVDs, and to reserve a group study room. You need to know your Student ID number to login to your Library account to renew your items or request items for future pick up.
When you sign in to your account, you can view your loans, make requests for new items to be picked up, check on your fines and fees, and read messages from the Library. You can also search the library catalog and databases for books, articles, DVDs and streaming videos without having to login again.
Why Log In to My account?
You can search the library catalog without logging into your account. The benefits of logging in before performing a search are:
- See a list of your checked out items and their due dates.
- Renew items online that are eligible for renewal.
- Request items online for pick up at a later date.
- If an item is already checked out, you will see a link to request it. The Library will contact you when it is available.
- Determine if you owe any fines or fees.
- Check on blocks and messages regarding your Library Account.
- View and edit your Library profile.
