Get a StFX Library Card

Your StFX ID is your Library Card. All students, staff and faculty must have the barcode number (21993...) from their ID card, also referred to as your Novanet number, before using our services. Library accounts typically expire every September 30th, with some exceptions. Student accounts will be automatically renewed at the start of each academic year they are enrolled to ensure continued access to all library services.  Staff and faculty must update their accounts regularly, the frequency depending on their employment terms.  Staff and faculty accounts can be renewed by submitting the faculty/staff registration form linked below and selecting the account update option.
