BACK TO HOW TO GUIDES
How
to Access Your Library Account on
the TROY (Online Catalog)
Step
One
On the
upper left corner of the TROY
(Online Catalog), we will find "My Account" where
you may enter your patron Id number and your password. Your Id
and Password are those that you use to access your campus email
and other electronic services (i.e. your ten digit student ID
for your patron ID, and the first three letters of your last name
and last four numbers of your SS # combined.)
Step Two
After
logging on, you will see a menu of links appear where you entered
you Id and Password. To the right will be a brief welcome statement
and summary of your account.
Step Three
Click
the “Full” link to see your address and phone number
as it appears in our database. You will also see the expiration
date of your account in this format: yyyymmddhhmm. (Year month
day hour minute.)
Step Four
VSU
does not use the “Account” Function on this system.
Step Five
Click the
“Activity” link to review the items currently checked
out to your account. A drop down menu allows you to switch between
a summary (number of books you have on loan) and “Checked
Out,” a detailed list of titles and their due dates. You
will also notice a toggle for renewing your books. Books cannot
be renewed if they are overdue or if you have other overdue items
on your account. Also, books cannot be renewed more than once
consecutively. If you have books that fall under these criteria,
you must bring them in and re-check them out.
Step Six
Click
“Logout” when you leave the computer terminal, or
when you are finished with your account. Although the system will
automatically end a session that has been inactive for a number
of minutes, it is recommended that you logout when you are through
in order to protect your private information and account.
