Off Campus Use of Databases / About Your Username and Password

Updating Your Circulation Record

Connelly Library now has a proxy server, which allows off-campus access to most of the databases to which we subscribe.

Just go to the Library homepage: http://www.lasalle.edu/library

Choose the database you want.

You will be prompted for a username and a password. Once you have logged into the proxy server for one database you will have access to all the databases during that session.

For Students:

To figure out your username and password:

Returning Students:

Username: First 6 letters of your last name; First initial of your first name; Number 1. Example: John Smith would be smithj1

New Students:

Username: Your last name; First Initial of your first name; Number 1. Example: Jane Connelly would be connellyj1

Password (all students): First 5 digits of your Social Security Number; Underscore ; First three letters of your last name. Example: 12345_smi

Not working? Some troubleshooting tricks: If your name is fairly common, try using the next number - Example smithj2. There may be someone else on campus with the same or a similar name. With a name as common as Smith, it may be necessary to proceed to smithj3 or smithj4

If you have recently married and are using your married name, try using your maiden name. The system may not yet have caught up with the news!

By the way, if you only have three or four or five letters in your last name, don't worry. The system understands that!

You can also find your username by typing in your ID# here: https://webapp.lasalle.edu/getname/

In the beginning of the Fall Semester, all students and faculty need to establish or update their record in the Library's computer systems.

Without a current Circulation record, you cannot check-out books or videos, request an interlibrary loan or place an order through E-ZBorrow.

With a valid Circulation record, you can renew your books online.

Establishing or updating your Circulation record is quick and easy. Simply go to the Check-out Desk in Connelly Library with your La Salle ID.

For more information about Connelly Library's Circulation policies, see the Circulation Department home page.
