Important Library Passwords

To login to CLICnet, the library catalog, your username is your first and last name with a space between them. Your password is your library barcode. Your barcode is the 14 digit number on your CSP ID that begins with the number 2 - Not Your L Number. Common uses for CLICnet include requesting books from other campuses, viewing online Course Reserves, or renewing books online.

To login to databases from off-campus, your username and password are the same as your network login which you use to login to the Student Portal. If your network login isn't allowing you to use databases from off-campus or login to the Student Portal, contact the Help Desk.

The library catalog and the subscription databases are two different systems. These are the only two logins needed to use library services.
