Your MyLOFT account can be created in two ways.

Created by the institute's library team

1. Contact your library and request that they create a MyLOFT account for you.
2. When the library creates your account, you will receive a welcome email at the email address associated with your library account. If you do not see it, check your Spam or Promotions folder.
3. Open the welcome email and use the Set Password option to create a password for your MyLOFT account. Use this password for future logins.

Sign up yourself

1. Open the MyLOFT mobile app or the MyLOFT Web App on your device.
2. Select your institute from the list of available options.
3. You will be directed to the login page. Tap or click the Sign up option at the bottom of the page.
4. Fill in your details: Name, Email address, and a Password. Tick the checkbox to accept the Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
5. You will receive a verification email in your inbox. If you do not see it, check your Spam or Promotions folder.
6. In the verification email, click "Verify your email". A new browser tab will open.
7. On the page that opens, tick the checkbox for the Institute Usage Policy. Your account request will be sent to the library team for approval to access institute-subscribed eResources.
8. While the library reviews your request, you will be logged into the app and can begin using freely available articles immediately.
