Your Library Account

Where can you access your my library account?

  • With the successful migration to our new library system, Find, your library Account feature has been upgraded and is now called "Shelf". You can access this feature by logging into our library website with your Pennkey and pennkey password.
  • If you do not have a Pennkey, please sign in using your Google Account. If you have not yet set up your Google account for authentication, please visit the Van Pelt-Dietrich Circulation desk to set up this feature.

What can you view from your library account?

  • Profile: full name, email address on file, phone, address, expiration date and account type.
  • Items you have on loan, with due dates.
  • Requests for delivery of Penn works and BorrowDirect, EZ Borrow, and Interlibrary loan requests.
  • Fines and fees assessed to your account.
  • The ability to renew eligible materials or cancel requests.
