Login Information

LIBRARY ACCOUNT ACCESS

(OverDrive ebooks & audiobooks and request material from regional (Prospector) libraries)

Library Account Number (417000#######)  and Library Password (not your Western password). To create or reset your password, click "Login" and choose reset my pin.

Contact the library if you have questions or issues.

 

DATABASE & ARTICLE ACCESS (OFF-CAMPUS)

We authenticate off-campus database access with Blackboard (Bb) Learn. Login with your Western username and password - the same credentials you use for Outlook and Canvas.  

Contact IT Services if you have forgotten your network login.

If you encounter an error while searching or accessing a database, contact your librarian or chat with us from any library webpage.

 

To access your personal account in a database:

These accounts are often not Western-affiliated. 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 articles, but can create and log into the platform (e.g., MyEBSCO) to save things to your personal folder.

Alternatively, you may be able to save articles to Google Drive and/or Microsoft OneDrive if the database has this feature enabled.
