Library Account Information

Accounts
Columbus State Library accounts are assigned to faculty, staff, and registered students. Library accounts allow users to check-out items from the Columbus State library as well as access OhioLINK resources including databases and print material.

Cougar ID
All faculty, staff, and registered students are assigned a unique ID number, commonly referred to as the Cougar ID number, by Columbus State. The Cougar ID number also functions as a library account number. Students can verify their ID number by visiting this secure site and selecting the "Discover my Cougar ID" option.

Users can manage their borrowed materials (including items borrowed through OhioLINK) through the account manager.
