OverDrive: new sign-in using McGill username coming July 14

Published: 11 July 2016

New for McGill students, faculty, staff and alumni: Starting Thursday, July 14, 2016, you will be able to use your McGill username and password to sign into OverDrive to access e-books and e-audiobooks. If you already have an OverDrive account with your McGill ID barcode and Library PIN, a new, separate OverDrive account will be created under your McGill username (first [dot] last [at] mcgill [dot] ca or first [dot] last [at] mail [dot] mcgill [dot] ca).

Sign in with your McGill username and password for any new loans or holds in OverDrive. Your ID barcode/Library PIN account, will only be accessible until August 22, 2016. These accounts are being phased out for all McGill students, faculty and staff.

Please note: Non-McGill users - as well as alumni without a McGill username - who have received or purchased a McGill Library Borrowing Card may continue to sign into OverDrive using their Library card barcode and Library PIN.

McGill alumni, please see McGill IT’s Email for Life page for more information about using your McGill username and password after graduation.

If you have any questions or encounter any access issues, please don’t hesitate to ask us!
