Distance Students: Registering with the Library

As a Cape Breton University student you can access online resources using your email and email password, by using the appropriate 'distance program guide' link below. Students must be registered with the library in order to check out books, place holds, or place an Interlibrary loan. You should receive login information for 'my account' after filling out the library registration form, and receiving an email confirming your barcode and login. Distance students who did not receive a card may contact Jennifer Green to obtain one.
