Setting up a library portal user account

If you want to gain access to additional portal functionality, you can set up a library portal user account. Setting up a library portal user account requires you to enter your personal library identification, such as your library barcode or PIN. Once you have set up your library portal user account, you can view your current checked out items, blocks, fines, and hold requests. You can request a hold on a library item, and either activate or suspend a hold request. You can create lists of library items and save them for future reference.

To set up a library portal user account

  1. Click the Login icon:

  1. Click Register as a new Horizon Information Portal user.

  1. Choose your home library from the list of library locations.

  2. Click Next.

  3. Enter your library identification information, as prompted.

 Generally, this is your library barcode and PIN.

Note:  If you do not belong to this library, you may be able to use the library portal to register as a new library user, depending on the library's policy.

  1. Click Finish.

  2. Click Return to Login.

You can now log in to your user account using your new user name and password.

 

Note:  This feature may not be available, depending on how your library sets up the portal.
