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 for students expire every September 30th and will be automatically renewed at the start of each academic year they are enrolled to ensure continued access to all library services.

Students:

All students should have an active library account, so registration and renewals are no longer required as long as you are enrolled at StFX. If your personal information changes, such as your name, phone, e-mail, etc, please contact the registrar's office to update your information and the changes will be reflected on your library account by the next day.
