Creating a PIN (Personal Identification Number) First Time Set Up

You get to pick your own PIN Number.  The Library does not assign one.  It is a quick and easy process.  Follow the steps below.  

• Go to My Library Account from this page or the main Sinclair Library Catalog.
• Fill in your name and SCC Tartan Card number
  • Leave the PIN field blank and click the Submit button.
• The next screen says, Please enter a new PIN.
• Type 4 numbers for your PIN. Enter the same PIN again in the second box. Remember your PIN. Repeating numbers such as 4444 or 2323 are not permitted.
• You can change your PIN by returning to your My Library Account page, signing in, and choosing "Modify Your PIN."

If you forget your PIN

There is a link on the My Library Account page immediately below the submit button called "Forgot your PIN?" to click if you forget your pin. It allows you to reset the PIN by sending a message to your college email account. You activate the new PIN by responding to the email.

If you have trouble with your email account or otherwise resetting the PIN, you may call the Library Service Desk at 937-512-3007 or email circulation@sinclair.edu.The Library staff will clear your old PIN, and you can then follow the steps above for a first time set up.

Why do I need a PIN?

The Library added a PIN number (Personal Identification Number) requirement to all library accounts as an extra privacy protection. This PIN is used for remote authentication of research databases from various vendors, to request OhioLINK items, and to see what you have checked out.
