Library Uses StarID and Gets a New Look for the Catalog

Great news!  You can now use your StarID and password to access library resources from off-campus or to login to your library account to see what you have checked out or to renew items.  For those of you who have your barcode memorized, you can still use that with your last name as password to login as well. 

We are still working to change all our documentation to reflect StarID access. 

In addition to this welcome change, our catalog interface has been upgraded and looks a little different.  The options for limiting searches have moved from the left side to the right side, but other functionality is still the same, with the added ability to browse both our ebooks and our physical books by call number.  It’s like virtually browsing the shelf.  

We hope StarID simplifies your library research!

This collection, which also includes DVDs and a subscription to the Oxford Islamic Studies Online database, was selected to familiarize U.S. audiences with the people, places, history, faith, and cultures of Muslims in the U.S. and around the world.
