If you are a student, enter your ID number as your User Name,

If you believe this to be in error, please contact the Circulation
Desk." What should I do?
- Contact
your home library to update your personal information and extend your
library card. Library cards typically expire in June. However, if you
have indicated that you will be graduating or leaving the university,
the expiration date may reflect that date.
I am not receiving any library
notices through email (holds, overdues).
- If you are using Earthlink, turn off your Spam blocker.
For others, check your spam folder. If the library notices are going
there, add email notice address to your accept or safe list. Also check
your junk mail folder.
