New Database Login and Password



Dear Faculty,
The library is currently in the process of transitioning to a new catalog (live in January) http://lifepacificcollege.worldcat.org/. With this transition, there has been a change in the authentication process. Previously, patrons would use a generic username (lifepaclib) and password (prayer) to access all of our electronic materials from off campus. This generic account is no longer operational, and patrons will now need to use their Id# and create their own unique password. The process is very simple and shouldn’t take more than a few minutes. The library has created a short (3:40 min) video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH55l6Ack4Q to help provide instruction, and demonstrate some of the new features accompanying this transition.

Potential problems
·         If you receive the following error when trying to change your password, then please contact me because your account has not been loaded, or you are using the wrong username/id#. 



·         When you setup your new password, the message will be sent to your lifepacific.edu email account. However, some of our Ignite, DCP, MASL students, as well as, some faculty members may have a different email account. Please be sure to check any and all email accounts from which you regularly receive notifications from Life.
