Frequently Asked Questions

IRSC Libraries no longer use a separate login. Use your MyPioneerPortal credentials to access your library account and the databases. If you see the MyPioneerPortal log in screen and your credentials are not accepted keep scrolling for additional information.

You have an old link that needs to be updated or you need to clear your cache on your browser. Keep scrolling for additional information.

The statewide consortium has changed the way students and staff authenticate into the libraries' online databases. We have been updating our links to the new authentication system for an entire year and now we have changed to a new discovery system and no longer have access to fix any expired accounts. All students and employees need to use the MyPioneerPortal login to access online library materials.

If you have used the old login for the databases, you may experience trouble when first starting out with the new login. If you encounter an error when accessing library links and you are using MyPioneerPortal, try opening an incognito window and copying and pasting the link into it. To permanently fix this issue, clear out your cache on your browser.
