Your barcode is the 14 digit number on your Courtesy Card. Barcode image Note this image shows spaces between numerals. Do not include spaces when you enter the barcode number to login. In this example, the barcode number is 50313016118180 (no spaces).

If you forgot or never had a password for your WorldCat account, see How to Create or Reset a WorldCat Password. You must have a working email address in your library record in order to create or reset your password.

DTS Grad

As a DTS grad, you may apply for a Courtesy Card in order to borrow books. Follow the Community User instructions above to login to WorldCat to renew books, etc.

As a DTS grad, you have access to some library databases. To access grad databases, use your @dallasseminary.edu email address as your Microsoft Azure ID and set your password according to the directions for current DTS faculty and students above.

Confused? A grad who is also a registered Community User has TWO sets of login credentials, one to access databases, and one to access a WorldCat account.
