I need help logging in. How do I log in to a database? What is my login?
Answer
Normally, there are two ways to access our electronic
resources from off campus; you can use either your KU library
barcode, or your campus login and password. However, sometimes only the KU card number will work:
Your KU library barcode number is the 16-digit number on the front of your KU ID card beginning 50392 or 622001, or the 14-digit number on your gold library card beginning 20506. Enter the number exactly as it appears; do not include spaces. (If this doesn't work, the most likely cause is that your card has not yet been 'validated' by the library; call 610-683-4480 or visit the Information Commons desk to remedy that.)
Your campus login is the login name and password that you use to access the computers on campus. (Note: this is different from your email password)
