Your EMU Library Barcode

You will be prompted for a barcode when you:

  • Request items from storage
  • Renew books online (here's how)
  • Request items from MiLE [Michigan Library Exchange] (What's that?)

NOTE: Before entering your barcode for the first time, your University ID must be processed at the Circulation Desk in the EMU Library.

What is your EMU Library barcode?

Students with OLD Eagle ID cards:
Barcode is 2+5 zeros+your 6 digit student number, e.g. 200000123456.
      Each time you replace your Eagle ID card the third digit is increased by 1, e.g.201000123456.

Faculty and Staff with OLD Eagle ID cards:
Barcode is 2+two zeros+the number on the front of your card.
      Each time you replace your Eagle ID card the third digit is increased by 1.

All Other OLD Eagle ID Card Holders:
Barcode is 2+two zeros followed by the number on the front of your card.
      Each time you replace your Eagle ID card the third digit is increased by 1.

Students with Current Eagle OneCard:
Barcode is the last 12 digits of the raised 16-digit number imprinted on the front of your card.

Faculty and Staff with pre-Eagle ID cards and Courtesy Card borrowers:
Barcode number is printed on your ID.

Barcode not working?

Some possible reasons include:

  • You have not had you ID "linked" into the Halle library system. Everyone must have their ID linked into our system to use many library services, ie. circulation, asking for items from the storage, using the Mile system, etc. Please come to the Circulation Desk at the Halle Library to have your ID linked. If you are a distance learning student please contact Judy Block [judy.block@emich.edu / (734) 487-0020 x2198] if you are taking classes through continuing education, or the Circulation Desk - (734) 487-0020 x2140.
  • You have too many overdues, recalls or owe the library large amounts of money in fees or fines.
    Please contact the Circulation Desk for assistance - (734) 487-0020 x2140.
  • Your ID has expired or is inactive. Please contact the Circulation Desk - (734) 487-0020 x2140.

Don't have a barcode and want to view materials in storage?

Library users who do not have a library card should request assistance at the Information Services (Reference) Desk in order to retrieve materials from storage.
