How do I get a PIN (personal identification number)?

To access your library account through the catalog:

  1. On the iBistro Home Page, enter your Library Card Bar Code number in the box in the top right corner of the page.
  2. In the box for PIN, enter the words CHANGEME as one word using all uppercase letters; do not use spaces.  If you received a PIN with your library card, use your assigned PIN instead of the words CHANGEME.
  3. Click on the blue Login Bar located beneath the boxes for Library Card No and PIN.
  4. Click on the "My Account" link in the menu bar at the top.
  5. Under the bar reading "My Account," click on the "User PIN Change" link.
  6. Your Library Bar Code number should appear in the box indicated.
  7. Skip the "or, Alternate ID" box.
  8. In the box, "PIN," once again enter the words CHANGEME (in all uppercase letters) or your assigned PIN; do not use spaces.
  9. In the box, "Enter New PIN," type in a PIN number of your choice, 4-10 characters in length, using all numbers. DO NOT USE spaces, dashes or underscores.
  10. Re-enter your new PIN in the box indicated.
  11. To finish, click on the "Change PIN" button.
  12. Click OK.
You can now use your Library Card number and PIN to review your account (click Review My Account on the My Account page) or renew items (click Renew My Materials on the My Account page).

To access the internet on the public computers in the library:     

  1. Go to the reference department and give them your library card.
  1. You create a unique 4 to 5 digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) that you can easily remember.

When the librarian gives your library card back to you, go to a computer and type in your library card number and new PIN (Personal Identification Number) to gain access to the internet.
