Set Password

Why set a password?

You need to set a password for two reasons:

  • Remote access to the library's electronic resources
  • Checking your library account and renewing books

Find your 14- or 15-digit library barcode number

To set a password, you need to have your 14- or 15-digit library barcode number handy. It begins with 29304. You will use this same number throughout this process.

  • If you are a new student, you will find your library barcode number in an informational e-mail sent to you by the AMBS registrar's office.
  • If you have signed up for a library card in person, you will receive a library card with a barcode. The number underneath the barcode is what you will use to log into the library system.

Unable to locate your 14- or 15-digit library barcode number? Call the library @ 574-296-6253.

If you have checked your e-mail and do not get the message, contact the library staff to verify that your information is correct: 574-296-6253.
