Distance Education: Library ID Numbers

To receive certain aspects of library service, the distance learner will be asked for a library ID number. The 14-digit Library ID consists of a patron's University ID Number, plus the library's 21711 prefix.

University ID Library ID
900123210 21711 900123210

Students registered for classes at WIU receive a University ID Number on a detachable card from the Registrar's Office. They need to include the 21711 prefix in front of this number whenever the library system (WIU Catalog/I-Share) asks for a library (or patron, or borrower) ID, such as when borrowing books in person at another I-Share library.
