Editing Your Personal Information

You can use the Your Profile function to add, edit or delete personal information (name, address, phone number, etc.) in your user record. You can also change your Password periodically to prevent unauthorized access to your account, or at any time you feel it is no longer secure. You cannot change your Username or Barcode.

NOTE: Depending on the configuration of the system for your library or consortium, some options may not be available.

NOTE: Mandatory (required) fields are indicated by an asterisk “*” following the field name. You MUST provide a value for all mandatory fields. Fields that CAN be edited are indicated by a “solid” underscore. Fields that CANNOT be edited are indicated by a “dotted” underscore.
