Wits Library Login: The library facilitates access to high-quality information resources and services through a team of skilled and knowledgeable staff and welcoming physical environments.
Setting a PIN for Remote Access : This guide will show you the basics of how to find information in print and online at the Witwatersrand Health Sciences Library
Remembering your PIN
Accessing e-journals, e-databases and e-books off campus requires you to have a valid PIN, which validates you as a bona fide Wits student or member of staff.
You set the PIN ONCE only, but if you forget this number, you have to ask a librarian to create a new PIN on your behalf. This is a waste of everyone’s time, so you are advised to write down your PIN and keep it in a safe place. Do not assume you will remember this number – you will not!
Renewing your Books
You can renew your books yourself with your PIN, as well as using it for remote access.
You should never have to pay a Library fine for an overdue book!
