Borrowing Materials - Accessing Your Library Account

<< back to How Do I

Your library account allows you to

  • see a list of items you have on loan, including due dates

  • renew items you have on loan (provided there is no hold placed on that item for another library user)

  • check the status of hold requests you have placed

  • see any fines or bills you may have incurred


You can access your library account from two places:

  1. From the library catalogue (BIBCAT) by clicking the "My Account" link from the top menu bar

  2. From the Learning Resource Centre ( http://www.algonquincollege.com/lrc/ ) webpage by clicking the "My Account" button

Log In To Your Account

You will be prompted for a user ID and PIN.  Enter that information as outlined below.

Colour Photo College ID Card

Enter your Student/Staff ID number in the Barcode box starting with the letter A, (9 digits required)

Student Example: A040123456

Staff Example:
A000012345

Your PIN number is the last four digits of your Student or Staff ID number.

Orange or Green library card
Enter the 13 digit barcode number in the Barcode box .

Your PIN number is the last four digits of your Student or Staff ID number.

For security purposes, you should change your PIN number after using it this first time. Your PIN number should be 4 digits (numeric).

If you are using a public or shared computer, be sure to exit from the BIBCAT when you have completed the transaction on your account.  Doing so will prevent other users from viewing your account.

Don't Forget Your New Due Date!

Books renewed online will not have accurate due dates stamped on the date due slip inside the book.  Use the "Review My Account" function to keep track of your checkouts


Please contact the main desk at your campus LRC if you have any problems.
