Most online databases will require you to enter your library card number and PIN for access outside the library. Your PIN is usually a 4-digit number. If you aren't sure what it is or want to change it, update your SAILS account here.
Please note that some resources are indicated as “In Library Use Only.” Also note that while many resources can be accessed by anyone with a SAILS library card, some resources, such as Hoopla, Kanopy, and Universal Class, require a Fall River library card. Please call the library's reference department at 508-324-2700, ext. 3, if you are not sure.
