2. On that page, click Sign In and enter your library card number and PIN.
● If you are eligible for conversion service, you will be granted access to complete the registration form.
● In you are ineligible for conversion service, you will encounter another error message merely stating that you do not have access to the page.
If you are not granted access to the page but believe that you should be, please contact the IT dept at (314) 821-5770, option 5 to verify that your library account is accurate.
