- You will be taken back to the page you were already using, such as the keyword search page.
- After you've signed in, the blue button changes to say 'Sign out' and your name appears next to it together with links to all your member services and online resources.

You only need to type your library card number and PIN once, and your browser should offer to save it for future visits. You may need to do this for each of the quick links above.

You should always remember to sign out when you have finished using the E-library. This is especially important if you are using a public computer or a mobile phone.
To sign out, all you need to do is click the blue 'Sign out' button which is on every screen.
Please note, as you sign out the E-library will check your reservation basket and ask if you want to reserve anything still in it.
