FAQs

Password Help:  Username for all students is Firstname.Lastname.  For students who entered school in 2013 or later, their password is welcome plus the year they started (ex: welcome2015).  Any student who entered in 2012 or earlier will have the password welcome plus the last 4 digits of their Social Security Number.(i.e. welcome1234). If a student wants a password reset, they will need to contact their campus library or send an email to library@jerseycollege.edu.

Library Card Issues: Every student is given a library account. If you have any issues, please contact your campus’s library

Ebook Help: Ebooks are available through the library catalog. Books listed as “TEXT” can circulate for 1 day. E-books are one user licenses (in case someone says they can’t access one because someone else is in it).  If a student says they get an error like “No results found” for a book by clicking the EBSCO link from a record, they should report that to one of us for EBSCO support help.

Printing: All PN students have $5.00 in their printing accounts upon entry to the school; RNs have $20.00. Printing only works from the computer stations in the campus computer labs marked “Print here.” Printing password uses the 1st three letters of the last name, 1st 3 letters of first name, and full birthday. For example: for John Smith, born May 8, 1969, the password would be SMIJOH05081969. Printing costs $0.15 per page.

They do not need a separate login to access these databases.

Links include tutorials on how to search the catalog and databases, how to cite, general nursing website links, and at the bottom of the left-hand column are the school surveys, which students are required to take at the end of each term.
