Here are some helpful hints that will facilitate your use of the Linfield College Libraries system when you need it for your research.

FIRST: Library barcode & e-mail address. Call or e-mail Carol McCulley , to have the barcode on your Linfield ID card and your current e-mail address (if you have one) entered into our circulation system. This will make it possible for you to order books from our library and through Summit when you need them, to renew books, and to receive library notices. If you do not have a Linfield ID, contact the DCE office and they will send you a card with a barcode.

• The instructions for you to set up your Linfield CatNet account (which gives you a CatNet ID and password), write them down. A Linfield CatNet account gives you:
  • Access to a full range of library resources, if you have full internet access through a local internet provider or internal network.
  • Access to grades, schedules and transcript on Webadvisor.
  • A Linfield email address (username@linfield.edu) also available on the web at https://exchange.linfield.edu/exchange or that you can forward to your personal account by going to Set up/cancel e-mail forwarding.
  • Access to the computer labs on McMinnville and Portland campuses, as well as the printers in Northup Library (use your user name and password to set up a PC lab account in Northup).
• You will also find information about:
  • Your local libraries
  • Linfield library services
  • "Where do I start?" tips for beginning a research paper
  • Information about Summit, the Orbis Cascade combined library catalog of OR and WA schools.
  • How to get access to the library resources from home How to order library materials
  • How to Set up/cancel e-mail forwarding to the e-mail address you use.
