PIN Numbers Are Coming
Posted by gloucestercitylibrary on July 7, 2009
Do you use your library card number to place your own requests through our catalog, or to check the status of your library record?
As of July 7th our catalog will require you to use a PIN (personal identification number) along with your library card number. PIN numbers will provide additional security for your library account. The catalog will prompt you to create a PIN number the first time you try to access a service where a PIN is required.
Your PIN must be four digits long. Choose a number that is easy for you to remember but does not repeat more than three digits in a row, or a set of two numbers more than once. (Examples of PIN numbers that will not work: 1111 or 1212). Write down your PIN in a safe place – you will need it EVERY TIME you log into your library record.
If you forget your PIN, you can reset it yourself if you have given us an email address as part of the contact information in your library record. Otherwise, you will need to ask a staff member to clear the PIN so that you can set a new one. Library staff cannot see your PIN number and cannot set it for you.
If you would like to provide an email address to the library, or have changed your email address, please ask a library staff member to update your library record.
