How do I log into the databases?
To request books from our catalog and log in to databases remotely, you'll need to log in with your library credentials. Enter your library account number, which should be on the back of your student ID (look for a barcode labeled Mondor-Eagen Library and a 14-digit number beginning with "204640...").
Your password will likely be your last name in all capital letters. If your last name is fewer than four letters, add letters from your first name.
For example:
Taylor Smith = SMITH
Justin Ore = JORE
Sarah Ng = SANG
If you have a hyphenated name, or have multiple names, use whichever comes last.
For example:
Colin Harris-Murray = MURRAY
Caroline Rivera Gomez = GOMEZ
If you have any difficulty logging in or using our online resources, email library@annamaria.edu.

Can I eat in the library?
You are welcome to bring in food and drink, like a coffee or a snack, as long as you clean up after yourself.

How can I renew my books?
As long as no one else has a hold on the book, it will automatically renew once. If you need the book for longer than that, please contact the library.
How can I see what items I have checked out?
You can check your account by logging into your library account here.
Does the library charge fines?
Nope! As long as the item is returned to us, you will not be charged. If you borrow an item from another library, they may charge fines, though.
Do you have popular reading/fiction books?

"I can use Google, I don't need library resources/assistance"
Librarians are research experts and can help you get your work done faster and more efficiently than on your own, even if you're confident in your research skills. Library resources are oftentimes curated to reach certain academic guidelines/requirements, and can make searching for sources easier by limiting the amount of material you have to search through to get what you need.
"If I need help from the library, it means I'm not smart"
Smart students use all of the resources available to do their best work, and the library is one of those resources!
