When you are first enrolled as a library user you will generally not have a password assigned to your account. However, you will need a password in order to access your library account, place holds, renew books, or acess on-line resources like eBooks and eJournals.
These instructions should help you set up a password for your library account.
Setting your password
1. Once you have an account at the library, you will need a password to access and make use of our website. To begin, go to the front page of the library catalogue. On the right hand side of the page, click ‘Forgot Your Password?’
You can also use this link if your password is not working or you have forgotten it.
2. Enter the email address you used to sign up to the library in the ‘email’ field.
If you are a student at Pilgrim Theological College or Trinity College Theological School a library account will have automatically been created for you, so you can use the email address you used for your enrolment.
Once you have entered the address, click ‘Submit.’ This will send an email to you with further instructions.
3. Go to your email account, where there should be an email from the library waiting for you. If it hasn’t arrived, refresh your email or simply wait a minute or two as sometimes there can be a short delay. Click on the link in the email to set your password.
4. Enter your desired password in both fields, ensuring that it meets the requirements outlined on the page (at least 5 characters, including UPPERCASE, lowercase, AND numbers). Make sure you enter exactly the same password in both fields or the process will not complete.
5. If you have completed all the steps correctly, you will be taken to a confirmation screen, meaning you can now use all the library’s resources!
If you ever wish to change your password, simply log in and click ‘change your password’ in the menu on the left of your account’s home page (the one that opens when you log in).
