My Library allows you to access your personal account details where you can:
It also provides access to the records in your savedlist. You do not need to be logged in to use your savedlist, but you do need to be logged in to access your personal account details.
You will need to login in order to access your personal account details. Once you have logged in, Spydus will remember your login details for the duration of your login session. If you want to place a reservation or request you will not need to identify yourself to the system again. If you attempt to place a reservation or request without being logged in, you will be prompted to enter your Borrower ID and PIN and this identification will last for the duration of the current transaction only.
To login:
If your login is successful, your account details summary page will be displayed. You can access your account details at anytime during your login session. If you have been debarred from using the library you may be prevented from performing certain transactions such as placing reservations.
