Important information regarding off-campus access to library resources

Over the weekend of June 16-17, the library databases will be altered to reflect the new LSU ID numbers. How will this affect you? No longer will faculty, staff, or students be able to log in from off campus to the library with their SSN. This ONLY affects off-campus access to the library.



Logging in with identification is required for off-campus users, whether they are using the journal databases or renewing books through the library catalog. Distance students also will have to have a TigerCard and use their TigerCard number.



If you are a summer term instructor, please mention this to your students. Also if any of your written materials give directions about logging in to the library resources with an SSN, please make a change in the wording.



In case you have any questions or problems, you may call the Reference Desk at 578-8875 for assistance.
