My Account (PIN)

To request your library Personal Identification Number (PIN), call or email us.

Call 504-864-7111 (local calls) or 1-877-614-0633 (toll free) and ask to speak to a staff member. The staff member will send your PIN to the email address in your library record.
Email libref@loyno.edu, and within 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) we will send your PIN to the email address in your library record. Please be sure to include your full name in your e-mail!

Once you receive your PIN, you'll be able to renew your checked out materials (before they come overdue of course!), change your address using My Account, and change your PIN.

From the library's home page, go to the catalog.
Click on My Account on the menu bar.
Select what you'd like to do:
Review My Account -- review what you have checked out.
Renew Materials -- renew what you have checked out. Note: Materials can't be renewed online when the materials are overdue, someone else has requested the item, or your record shows that you have fines in excess of $5.00. If you encounter this problem, please contact the library.
Change My PIN -- change your PIN number.
Change My Address -- Change your address with the library.
Use your library barcode (the 16-digit strip on your Loyola ID) plus your PIN to access your account and proceed to review, renew, or change address.
Note: To get a barcode, stop by the library's Learning Commons desk. Students enrolled in off-campus programs email us at distlib@loyno.edu.
Please contact us if you have any problems or questions about using the My Account feature in the library's catalog.

For your security, library staff members will not be able to give your PIN over the phone, nor will they be able to send it to an e-mail address other than the one the library has on file. Please let us know if you'd like to change your email address in the library's system. You can email us the change or stop by the library and make the request in person.

For more information, please contact Evonne Lawrence, Circulation Coordinator, at 864-7165 or ekelly@loyno.edu for information about your library account, your PIN, renewing online, etc.
