Logging in to Library Workstations

Computers in the IU Bloomington Libraries are provided to support the academic and research work of students, faculty, staff, and visitors to the Libraries.

Why Do I Need to Log In to Library Workstations?

The University requires all users to log in to University-owned computers.  This ensures that anonymous messages cannot be sent from University or library computers. 

Logging in also allows the Libraries to make available subscription-based resources and software that is covered by licenses restricting its use to persons affiliated with Indiana University or known guests.

How Do I Log In?

Press Control/ALT/Delete to bring up the login screen.

Type your University Network ID and password/passphrase.  This is the same username and password/passphrase you use to connect to Oncourse and OneStart.

Visitor Accounts

Visitors may request a free guest account at the circulation desk in any library.
