Off-campus Access guideline

 Registering as an off-campus library user

•         This will allow you to login to Research Databases when you are off campus.

•         It will also allow you to renew your books, see what is issued on your card ,etc.

•         Remember to activate your reading history – a useful feature.

•         Remember that you must be a current registered user of the Library.

Procedure

•         Click on “My Library Record” under Quick Links on the left hand side of the RU Library Webpage.

•         You will be taken to the library login page.  Enter your surname & barcode (new and re-registered students use your student number preceded with a 6 e.g. 614m1234)  but leave the PIN box blank.  Click on submit and then you will be asked to create a PIN.Once you’ve done this you are set up for off-campus access, as the login page will pop up when you click on any database for access.

When accessing databases remotely, you need to insert your student surname, barcode/student number and the PIN which you have chosen.

•         Use the login option on the top right hand corner of the OPAC page.

•         Please remember your PIN.

•         You MUST be a current year registered user.
