Logging into the Library Catalogue
By logging into "My Account" on the Library Catalogue, you can renew books, change your preferences, and create bookbags.
The first time you log in
The first time you log in, you will be asked for two things, a username and a password:
The username is your full University of Windsor email address, and the password is your library barcode (on the back of your student card). To summarize:
| username | UWin email address | nobody@uwindsor.ca |
| password | barcode | 21862000000000 |
If this does not work for you, please contact our circulation desk immediately at 519.253.3000 x3402.
Changing your password on your first login: The very first time you log in, you will be prompted to change your password. You can select any password you like, but it must be at least 7 characters long and include both letters and numbers. After you have changed your password, you will have to log in again using the new password.
Why can't I use my UWin ID and password?
Our new Library Catalogue is going through some growing pains. We're working on a process to connect to the University's ID management system so that you can use your UWin ID to log in, which we hope will be ready soon. Until then, we apologize for any inconvenience from the above.
To renew books
Click on Items Checked Out. Select the items you would like to renew, then click the Renew Selected Items button. Of course, you can still renew books in person or by calling the circulation desk.
If you renew online, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to know which books were successfully renewed and which were not. The due dates stamped at the back of the books will no longer be valid. Call the circulation desk immediately (519.253.3000 x3402) or come to the desk in person if your renewal did not work.
Online renewal will not work for students and Faculty of Law
- if you are a law student or a law faculty member please call the Leddy circulation desk at ext. 3402 for phone renewal
For more information on renewing books, please see our Renew Books page.
Bookbags
Bookbags are an exciting new feature that allows you to create saved lists of books and other resources that you find in the catalogue. Bookbags are saved on the server and are permanently attached to your username so that you can go back to them anytime, anywhere. It's also possible to share bookbags. making them available for viewing to anyone on the internet, and each shared bookbag has an RSS feed so that a notification can be sent out when new items are added.
