How do I access from off-campus? FAQs
The University of Manitoba Libraries use a proxy server to allow access to licenced electronic resources from off-campus. When you choose a resource that needs to authenticated you'll be asked for your Library ID and PIN. Here's what they are:
Library ID
- U of M Students - Your 7 digit student number
- U of M Faculty and Staff - All 14 digits on your ID Card
Library PIN
- New Students - Change your PIN
- Your default PIN is your YYMMDD birthday, BUT you must change this before it will work to access resources from off-campus
I have forgotten my PIN? What do I do?
To have your Library PIN reset follow these instructions
Why does my Staff number not work, but my Library ID does
It is possible that we have an incorrect entry in for your staff number, visit the Circulation Desk at any U of M Library and let them know you want to correct your alternate id in our records.
I have tried everything and I still cannot access the proxy server.
