Changes to Logging In at the Library.

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

UQ students and staff MUST now use only their UQ username and password when accessing online Library services.

As of 3pm on Monday, 23 February 2009, UQ students and staff will no longer be able to authenticate using their Library barcode and PIN.

This will simplify authentication for UQ students and staff who will no longer have a separate set of credentials for Library services. The UQ credentials are the same as those used to access other UQ online systems, such as My.UQ, SINET or ESS.

Non-UQ Library users will be unaffected by this change.

If you have any questions, contact your Liaison Librarian.
