Students

All students registered for classes are issued an electronic library card automatically. Your login information for library services is different from other GCC services. Library cards expire one academic year following the last semester of active enrollment.

Your library barcode (and username to login to library services) is:
269960 + your student ID number
For example: 26996012345678

Your default password for library services is:
Your last name in ALL CAPS
For example: SMITH

We recommend you change your password as soon as possible here: https://gcc.cwmars.org/MyAccount/Home

If you had a library card prior to Spring 2022, your older barcode and the newer barcode will both work. If you find that your older password does not work, please try the new default (last name in ALL CAPS). Please note you will need to use the newer barcode number (269960 + your student ID number) to change your password.

Faculty & Staff

Faculty & staff hired after summer 2024 will also be issued a library card automatically. Faculty & staff library cards expire every 2 years. You will get an email 7 days prior to expiration. You can renew by stopping by the library, calling us, or forwarding that email to library@gcc.mass.edu with the request to renew.

Your library barcode (and username to login to library services) is:
269960 + your Banner ID number (this can be found within myGCC)
For example: 26996012345678

Your default password for library services is:
Your last name in ALL CAPS
For example: SMITH

We recommend you change your password as soon as possible here: https://gcc.cwmars.org/MyAccount/Home

If you started employment at GCC prior to summer 2024, please email us at library@gcc.mass.edu for a library card.

GCC Library Card Opt-Out

Students, faculty, and staff may choose not to have a GCC library card created for them automatically. This impacts your ability to access GCC library resources, including some streaming film databases and the technology lending library. It does not impact any public library accounts you may have within CWMARS. If you would like to opt out of a GCC library card, please email library@gcc.mass.edu with your name, student ID number, and the request to opt out. You can opt back in at any time by emailing library@gcc.mass.edu with your name, student ID number, and the request to opt in.
