Step 2: Click the ‘Sign In’ button in the upper right corner of the browser.
Step 3: You will be presented with a page where you must select your login method. Bishop's students must select "LOGIN WITH A BISHOP'S USER NAME AND PASSWORD (FOR BISHOP'S STUDENTS ONLY)". Faculty, staff and community members must select "LOGIN WITH A BARCODE (FOR ALL OTHER BORROWERS)".
Step 4:
If you select the student login method you will be redirected to a sign in page at your institution. Enter your Bishop's user name and password. After logging in, you will be redirected back to the discovery search.
The barcode login method requires that users set a password before logging in for the first time.
