Before you can begin using Order, Borrow, Renew services, you must be a registered patron of the Oregon State Library. As a state agency employee, being registered also allows you access to our collection of databases, which you can use to locate journal articles (either citations or full text, depending on the database).

3 Registering for Services If you have not registered for our services, click the link at the top of the page labeled “Home,” then follow the directions on the Getting Started page to register.

4 Forgotten Username and PIN If you are registered, but cannot remember your username or password, here are some helpful hints: - Your username is your state email address with your 3- digit agency code attached to the end (i.e. joe.r.smith543) - Your PIN number can be any 4-digit number you prefer (birthday, phone number, SSN, etc.) You may also request this information by clicking the link at the bottom of the page labeled “Get username and PIN reminder.” Follow the instructions on the page you are then redirected to, or you can call 503-378-8800 for immediate assistance.

5 Requesting from the Catalog When searching our catalog, if you find an item of interest you would like to request, click on the red “Request” button, which will redirect you to our State Employee Information Center (SEIC) website Order, Borrow, Renew logon page.
