Important Library Logins Change

Starting on Monday, July 10, the method that MU students, faculty, staff, and emeriti use to login for library services will change. Rather than entering your name and Banner # to renew materials or request items from other MU libraries, you will enter your Unique ID and password.

This change furthers the Libraries' plan of making your Unique ID and password the universal login for all library services. We are already using this login for access to library databases from off-campus locations.

For a visual example of the new login screen, please see http://www.lib.muohio.edu/spotlight/story.php?id=196 You will note from this screen that Friends of the Library and Community Borrowers will continue to use their names and library barcode numbers for library services. All other users will make the switch to Unique IDs and passwords.

One important note: when requesting materials from OhioLINK libraries, you will still use your name and Banner # (this will be changed at some point in the future).
