Off-Campus Access Help/More Info

How to activate your library account and set up email notification.

1. Activating your library account

Before you check out books (or use many other Library services) make sure that your library account is activated.  Just visit the Information Commons Desk in the Campus Library, present your UWB/CCC ID card, and ask any staff person to verify that your account is ready for use. Staff will input any information necessary for immediate library use.

2. Link your barcode online (optional)

Some library users will have 14-digit barcode numbers printed on the back of their UWB/CCC ID cards. If your ID card has a barcode, it will need to be linked to your patron record as part of account activation. As an alternative to contacting library staff in the Information Commons of the Campus Library, you may link your own barcode using this online Web form.

Please note: If you link your barcode online (rather than in person at the Campus Library Information Commons Desk) it will take approximately two days for your request to be processed. In addition, you may need to contact library staff to input other information necessary for full library service into your library account, such as Net ID.

3. Setting up email notification online

Email notification is available to all users and will be offered during account activation. If you decide to register for email notification at a later date, you may do so online, by logging into Your Library Account using your UW NetID.
