Library Account Password Security Changes – you may need to reset your password

By

This information affects NHS, SCONUL and Alumni members.

If you have a library card for the Health Library at Royal Stoke or Library, Education and Resource Centre at County Hospital, you will have set up a password for an online library account, which you access through the library catalogue Library Search. This is used to login to your account to view your book loans, renew items and place requests on items. 

The system which manages the login details has changed 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.
Also any one who has not logged into their account at all during 2019 will also find their password will not work.

If you did log into your account in 2019, or if you have not already reset your password to meet the new criteria before January 2020 and you cannot log in – please contact the libraries and request a temporary password reset so that you can access your account and set your own password.

Please contact the Health Library at 01782 679500 or Library, Education and Resource Centre at 01785 236113.

You will need to be able to quote your library card number so please have this with you when you call.

If you can still login and know you need to re-set your password - please see the instructions below for how to reset your password.
