What is my library card number?
Library card numbers
MyLOFT does not manage or issue library card numbers. Your library card number is issued by your library or institution and is used to access their services.
What to do if you don't know your library card number
- Contact your library or institution directly for assistance.
- They can retrieve or reissue your card number and explain how to use it to access publisher portals or other services.
How to contact your library
Common ways to reach them:
- Call the library's helpdesk or circulation desk.
- Send an email to the library's support address.
- Visit the library in person with a valid photo ID.
- Sign in to your library's online account or portal (if available) to view your card number or account details.
Information to have ready
- Your full name as registered with the library.
- Any alternate ID used by the library (student or staff ID, barcode, or email).
- A valid photo ID if you visit in person.
If you need your library card number to authenticate or log in to a publisher portal and you are unsure what it is, your library or institution will be able to help you retrieve or provide it.
