Who to contact if you are having problems with...

PrairieCat | Library Databases | Blackboard/UIS E-mail Account | Software (Word, Excel, etc.)

PrairieCat

I need help finding a book, journal, etc.

Contact the Information Desk and we'll walk you through the search process. (See also Search Strategies for PrairieCat.)

It won't let me request a book.

To log into system, you need your I-Card and the 14 digit Library # that begins with 2141. If you are having problems, contact the Circulation Desk, 217-206-6605 or lib-circ@uis.edu. (See also Requesting Books in PrairieCat)

If you got logged in fine but it will not let you request a particular book, double-check that the book is not in Reference or another non-circulating collection. Or contact the Information Desk.

Library Databases

I can't get into the database.

It is asking for your NetID/password, which is the same username/password you use to register for classes, access UIS email account, and access Blackboard.

If you are having problems with your username and password when you are initially trying to get into the database, see Off-Campus Access to Information or contact the Technology Support Center.

I'm having problems finding what I want in the database.

Contact the Information Desk and we'll walk you through the database. (See Database Guides for some explanations of the most commonly used databases.)

Blackboard or UIS E-mail Account

This is the same username/password you set up to register for classes. If you don't know your username, or you have forgotten your password, go to the Campus Technology Services NetID page. For further help, contact the Technology Support Center.

Software (Microsoft products including Word, Excel, Access, etc.)

For one-on-one support contact Kara McElwrath, ITS Training Specialist, UHB2026. She can be reached at 206-8237 or kmcel2@uis.edu. See Information Technology Services for information about scheduled workshops and training resources.
