Accounts

Personal Accounts and Network Authentication

Most library systems now use the WUSTL Key to provide access to resources for Washington University students, faculty, and staff. Information on creating and maintaining your WUSTL Key can be found on the WUSTL Connect web site.

Special accounts are created for library visitors and short term visiting scholars.  Services for these accounts are more restricted than individual accounts.  Additional information will be provided at the time a special account is issued.

How to Change Your Password

Information on changing your password or resolving a lost password problem can also be found on the WUSTL Connect web site.

Personal File Space

All individual network accounts have a limited amount of personal file space on a library file server.  This server is mapped as the Z: drive when patrons log onto the library network. Personal file space is for school-related material only. Any movies, music, programs, or other software stored here may be deleted at any time. This file storage is also backed up on a regular basis.

The University’s rules on the use of computing resources must be followed at all times when storing files on library servers.

Luna Accounts

Luna Insight is the university's digital image management and distribution system. The local server hosts internally-generated image collections and delivers them to the Washington University network community. Faculty accounts for research and teaching may be requested on-line.
