My name is Greg Bobish, and I'll be your main contact here at the University at Albany Libraries. You can reach me by commenting on any post on this blog, or by emailing me directly at gbobish AT uamail.albany.edu.

There is also an instant message widget on the side of the page for quick help - be sure to let me know that you're an Albany High Student when you message me, and if I don't get back to you right away, leave an email address (only I will see it).

We've set up a web page just for you, where you can find information about how to use the many resources available here. Check it out! If you're looking for something that doesn't show up there, just let me know and I'll point you in the right direction.

You can login to your MyMinerva account in the Libraries' catalog by clicking on 'Minerva' from the library home page, and then clicking 'MyMinerva' at the top of the page. You can use this account to view items you have checked out, renew items, and see other circulation-related information.

Once you click the MyMinerva link, you will be prompted for your NetID and password.

Your NetID is the 14-digit barcode number on the back of your library card.

Your password is not yet assigned. To get a password, you must call 442-3569 and explain that you're a courtesy borrower from Albany High School, and would like to have a password set up for MyMinerva. If there's any confusion, just contact me (Greg) and I'll get it straightened out for you.

Have a great break!
