To obtain a Library PIN for the first time you need to go to the option to "View your own library record" from the CATTRAX menu either on the library webpage or from a telnet access. The OPAC terminals outside the Reference area in the library, or your personal computer, can be used.

When you choose to 'view your own library record' the terminal will prompt you to enter a new PIN. Enter either numbers, letters or a combination of both to create a PIN four or more characters long. After you have entered your PIN, you will be prompted again to confirm.

Do memorize your Personal Identification Number. If you forget it you will have to come to the Circulation Desk in the library to have it deleted. Then you will need to assign a new PIN to your record.

Using the PIN to view your own library record will allow you online access to:

• verify which books you have checked out and when they are due.
• renew materials that are NOT overdue or requested
  (overdue items must be brought to the library and renewed at the Circulation Desk).
• confirm that the information in your record is accurate

If you have any questions about library Personal Identification Numbers (PINs), call 963-3682 and ask to speak with a shift supervisor.
