Trouble Signing into the Ohio eBook Project?

  1. Does your library card start with a 2? If it starts with an 8, you will need a new card, available at any checkout desk.
  2. Your default PIN number is the last four digits of your phone number. If that doesn't work, we can reset your PIN over the phone.
  3. Expired patron? Patron has blocks? Call the library and we can fix these issues in your account

Other Tips:

  1. Some books are not available through the Ohio eBook Project. If what you're looking for is not available, you can suggest a title [30], and we will check into purchasing it for the consortium.
  2. Make sure the book you are checking out is available in the format you want before you click "Borrow." (Check Ohio eBook Project Supported Devices [31] for more information)
  3. When browsing and searching, you can filter results on the left. Always start a new search at the top right of the screen to avoid searching within results.
