New Password for Access to Library Resources

Posted by Admin.

To prepare for the campus-wide changes in identity management that will occur over the summer, the Libraries have changed the password for access to electronic resources. Beginning on May 13, access from off-campus locations will use the WVU Master ID username and password for logon.

Changing to Master ID for library authentication is an important step in reducing the number of passwords needed for access to campus resources.  Library resources available by Master ID password include databases, e-journals and e-books. Materials on e-Reserve (electronic reserve) and library computers will also use Master ID as the method of login. Instruction and links to help are included on the logon screens. 

WVU students, faculty, and staff may activate their WVU Master ID online at http://oit.wvu.edu/masterid.  Those who need to reset their passwords can phone the OIT Help Desk at 304-293-4444.

Library help is available online at http://libraries.wvu.edu/ask or by phone at 304-293-3640.
