As we move into the last weeks of the semester, you may need to reset your PIN to continuing using library resources from home. For security reasons, the university requires everyone to reset their PIN periodically. Any PIN that has not been reset in the past few months will expire soon.

To prevent a temporary loss of access, please reset your PIN today by following these steps:

  1. Connect to student e-services or faculty/staff e-services.
  2. Choose "My Personal Data"
  3. Click on the "Change PIN" link and follow the instructions on your screen.

If you are unable to change your PIN, please contact the  Registrar's Office at 713-221-8999.

We believe this problem has been fixed as of Thursday, February 1, at 10:30 am. If you continue to experience problems, please use Ask a Librarian to let us know.

We are currently experiencing a technical problem with off-campus access to library databases.

We are working with several vendors to find the source of this problem and to fix it. In the meantime, please check our Find Journals by Title page to see if the journal, magazine, or newspaper you need is available online. Links from that page continue to work.

We apologize for any inconvenience this problem may cause.
