Library Account Password Security Changes

The system which manages the login details is changing to increase security.

Please be aware if you have a password that is fewer than 8 characters you will find that from January 2020 that you will not be able to log in to Library Search.

To avoid this - in advance please reset your Library Search password to meet the security criteria.

If you have not reset your password before January 2020, you will need to contact the library to request a temporary password reset so that you can access you account and set your own password. Please contact the Health Library at 01782 679500 or Library, Education and Resource Centre at 01785 236113
