Accessing Your Library Account
- To view your library account, you will need a user ID (barcode number on your library card) and password.
- To obtain a password, go to Theolog, click Sign in, and then choose the Set/Reset Password option. Please note that VST library staff cannot do this for you.
- Enter your library barcode/user ID in the box when prompted, and click Request New Password.
- You will then receive an email with instructions for creating a new password, the link for which will expire after 24 hours.
Renewing an Item
- You can renew your items online through your library account; you can also email the Circulation Desk (circ@vst.edu), call 604-822-9382, or visit the library.
- If you do not have an online library account, you can create one by following the instructions in the section above.
- Once you have your password, sign in to Theolog.
- You will see the items you have checked out with a Renew button next to each.
- Click on the button beside the title of the checked-out item to renew it.
Placing Holds
- Holds can only be placed by library staff on items owned by the VST library, and only on items that are checked out.
- If you would like to place a hold on an item that has been checked out, please email the Circulation Desk (circ@vst.edu), call 604-822-9382, or visit the library in person.
- If the requested item is required for reserves or has gone missing, you will receive an email informing you of this and the hold will be dropped.
- Once a hold becomes available, you will receive an email notifying you that the item is available at the Circulation Desk.
- Items held by VST can only be picked up at the VST library; holds cannot be routed to our partner libraries.
- The hold will be kept at the Circulation Desk for 7 days.
- If the hold is not picked up within a week, the item will be re-shelved and available for general use. You will be sent an email informing you that the hold has expired, and the item has been re-shelved.
