Library eResources Sign-In Instructions for LSO Licensees 

To enhance account security, a new sign in procedure has been introduced for Licensees. 

Licensees are now required to use a Library eResources account to access the Great Library’s electronic resources that require user authentication.  

As a licensee, an account has been created for you using the preferred email address listed in your LSO Connects profile. Please use this email address to sign in to your Library eResources account. 

If you are signing in for the first time, you will need to set your password by clicking “Reset Password” and following the on-screen instructions. (See: Step-by-Step: Sign-In Instructions below). 

Note: your Library eResources password is separate from your LSO Connects password and is managed independently. 

Non-Licensees 

These changes do not apply to non-licensees, such as licensing candidates or agents of licensees. Non-licensees should continue signing in using their barcode and password, by selecting the “Non-Licensee” option on the "Access to eResources sign-in page."

If you encounter any issues, please contact us at greatlibrary@lso.ca.
