The Library Catalog

You can search for books, old journal titles and videos in the catalog.  You can also update your contact information, place holds on books and renew books by logging in.

Catalog FAQs

What is my login information for the catalog?

If you are a student, it is your student ID. 
Your password is the last four digits of your ID.  

If you are a faculty member, graduate, member of the general public or a student for whom this didn't work, please contact the library to get your login information.

What can I do in my account?

Once logged in, you can:

  • Update your contact information
  • See which books are out and when they are due
  • Renew books (as long as you don't hit your limit)
  • Place holds on books.
    • We will notify you when the book is returned

Why is it not letting me place a hold?

It may be an item (reserves/textbooks) that can't be reserved.
