What is my password?

I am trying to make a stack request, but I don’t know what my password is.


Your default password is your date of birth, in the following format:
• the two numbers of the day
• the first three letters of the month
• the full year


So if you were born on 8th August 1975, your password would be 08aug1975. Please note that it is the spacing, not the capitalisation, which is significant. When you type your password into the Telnet version of OLIS, nothing will show on the screen. Just type in the password, and then press <return>.

If your date of birth does not work, you may try using your barcode number as your password.

If you have tried both these alternatives, and are still having problems, please Ask an Oxford Librarian. 

I am trying to access an electronic journal, but I am being asked for a login and password (I am within the Oxford university network). How can I see the article I need?
Please look the journal up using the Oxford University e-Journals service.

This will indicate whether Oxford subscribes to the particular issue you need to consult. If Oxford does subscribe to the issue, but you are still having problems, please inform our e-Journals helpdesk:
eresources@bodleian.ox.ac.uk

How can I access electronic resources from outside the library and the Oxford University network?
Current members of the University (blue card holders) may access most resources using their University Single Sign On (SSO) account, or by registering with the Virtual Private Network (VPN) service. More details are given on the Bodleian Libraries' remote access page.

Members of the Bodleian Libraries (holders of other colour cards) may access most resources when in the libraries, but not remotely, due to licensing restrictions.
