FAQs

How do I change my password?

There are two username/passwords that the library uses.

There is a username and password for the library catalog, where you search for and request books for pick-up:  https://bu.library.bastyr.edu/    Your account is set up with your standard BU username and password but if you change your central BU password, it doesn't change for the library catalog too!

You can re-set your password for Koha using the "forgot password" link on the catalog homepage.

For off-campus access to the library databases and eResources, you will be asked to login to the Library Proxy Server - you use your central BU username and password (the one you use for SharePoint, Student/Faculty Portals, Canvas etc.) If you log in with the wrong password more than 3 times, your account will  be temporarily blocked by both IT and the proxy server.  The lock expires after about 15 mins; if it's urgent and you can't wait, you need to contact IT HelpDesk@bastyr.edu  and Library@bastyr.edu so that both services can be reset for you.

If you need to reset your central BU password (remember, they expire every 180 days!) you can do so here:  https://tolfuin.bastyr.edu   New passwords, as usual, must meet complexity requirements.
