Who may use E-Reserves?
Current UCI students (including Extension), faculty, and staff members
can access E-Reserves.
What is needed to access E-Reserves?
You must have a valid UCI
Library card. You will also need a Library
PIN (Personal Identification Number) to use E-Reserves. If you do
not yet have a valid UCI Libraries card, you will need to activate your
card in person at the Loan
Desk at Langson, Science or Grunigen Medical Library. Valid identification
and proof of current UCI enrollment or employment is required to activate
your library card.
If you are using E-Reserves from off-campus, you will need to be authenticated
as a current UCI student, faculty or staff member in order to access licensed
electronic materials available through E-Reserves. Please refer to Connecting
from Off-Campus.
Top of Page  What is a Library PIN?
Your Library PIN is a 4 to 8 digit number. You can set it when you activate
your Library card. If you want to change it at a later time, you can modify
your PIN via your account on My
ANTPAC. Please note that your Library PIN is different from your TELE
PIN and your UCInetID and password.

PIN?

- Calling the Loan/Reserves Desk at the Langson Library (949-824-6842),
