How to Setup Your New Library Password: Home

Why are we doing this?

Colorado law has recently changed such that this level of security is required. There have been dramatic nationwide and worldwide increases in cyber crime, identity theft, and the commodification of Personal Identifiable Information (PII). This level of security is more important now than in the past.

Passwords for books, DVDs, CDs

Passwords are here! Starting on March 28, 2023 passwords have been added to your library catalog account as an added level of security to protect your privacy. The first time you log in to the catalog, you will be prompted to reset your default password to a password of your choice. We encourage all library patrons to select a password or passphrase that consists of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols.

This Impacts:

  • CCU physical books
  • Overdrive resources
  • Requesting items through Prospector
  • DVDs and CDs
  • Ebooks through Libby

Does Not Impact:

  • CCU Brightspace passwords
  • CCU Connect passwords
  • Database passwords such as EBSCO, ProQuest, Gale, etc.

*Note: Prospector asks for your Personal Identification Number but this is still your new Library Account Password.
