To access library accounts, some ebooks/audiobooks, and to request ILL or Prospector items:
Library Account Number (417000#######) and Library Password (not your Western password; reset my pin to create or change it)
Contact the library if you have questions or issues.
To access databases:
Blackboard Learn login (your Western username and password) is the same used to access Canvas.
Note: your computer may remember this information, so you will not need to enter it again later.
Contact IT Services if you have forgotten your network login.
If you encounter an error while searching/accessing a database, contact your librarian.
To access your personal account in a database:
These accounts are often not Western-related. They are free accounts you have set up on your own and, if forgotten, you will need to use a username/password recovery option provided by the database.
An example of this is Western OneSearch - you'll need to use your Bb Learn login (Western username/password) to access OneSearch, but can create and log into the platform to save things to your folder.
Alternatively, you may be able to save articles to Google Drive and/or Microsoft OneDrive if the database has this feature enabled.
