UHLS Libraries App

First, uninstall the old UHLS Mobile app. Then, search your app store for UHLS Libraries. Double check the screenshots to make sure it’s not the old app, and install. The first time you log in, you’ll need your library barcode and PIN. By default, the PIN is the last four digits of the phone number you provided when you applied for the card.

• Store your library card barcode digitally and scan your barcode in the app at the library
• Add multiple library cards/accounts
• See all linked accounts’ holds, checkouts, and barcodes without needing to log out or switch
• In-app (and soon push) notifications for holds, items due soon, overdue, and account expiration
• Scan any book to see if the system has a copy
• Search the catalog and place holds
• Reading tracker feature
• Quick links to digital library services like eBooks, newspapers, and databases
• Find nearby libraries and their hours
• Customizable by user

• Tap My Account or the hamburger (three lines) menu in the top-right of the home screen
• Tap Sign In
• Enter your library barcode number by either:
  • tapping Scan Barcode, then position your phone camera over your barcode.
  • tapping Borrower number, then type in your number without spaces
• Tap Continue
• Enter your PIN (unless you changed it, it’s the last four digits of the phone number you gave us when you created your account)
• Tap Login

Adding another’s library card to your app should only be done with permission from both cardholders. The linking is not reciprocal (you won’t appear on someone else’s app just because you add them to yours), and the linked cards will be removed once you log out.

To link a accounts/library cards:

• Log in with your library account
• Tap My Account
• Tap Linked Accounts
• Tap +Add
• Scan the 2nd account’s library card barcode with your phone camera when prompted or type the number in
• Enter the 2nd account’s PIN

To remove a linked account, go to the same location, tap on the account, and choose Remove.

Note: Linked accounts already in our system are not carried over to the app automatically.

First, make sure you have opted in by tapping the menu icon and selecting My Details under your name. Make sure the box under Retain Checkout History is checked. If it wasn’t already checked, turning it on now remembers all future items, but does not pull in old ones.

• Go to My Account
• Go to Checkouts
• Scroll to the bottom
• Tap your name

• The look and feel of the app depends on which library is set as your home library.
• Phone/device settings: If your app seems to be missing icons, it is likely because of your device’s text size settings. For example, the app can be modified to remove the icons, subtitles, and search bar to make room for the larger text on the buttons

All patron data is stored on the library’s systems and accessed via API. Patron data is not stored on the Solus (app developer) system. Solus adheres to all security requirements for the API connection.
