As you may have heard, GW is now using the term “UserID” in place of what was formerly known as “NetID.” When logging into your GW email account, Blackboard, GW Box, web conference and other GW systems, you are now asked to use your UserID. This includes how you access your Himmelfarb Library account and off-campus access to electronic resources.

If you claimed your GW identity prior to May 22, 2022, there will be no changes in how you access your GW accounts. You should continue to login using the first part of your GW email address (i.e. userID@gwu.edu) as your UserID. 

For new students, faculty and staff who claim their GW identity after May 22, 2022, a new identity claiming process is now in place. GW users who claim their GW identity after May 22, 2022 will use their GWID (an alpha-numeric value used to identify you within GW’s systems, the letter G followed by an 8-digit number - example: G12345678) as their UserID. 

So how do you know which user ID is the correct one to use? Remember that it’s dependent on when you claimed your GW identity. If your GW Identity was claimed:

  • After May 22, 2022: UserID is your GWID (G12345678).
  • Before May 22, 2022: UserID is the first part of your GW email address.

For more information, please visit the GW Information Technology Identity and Access Management website. If you have questions about GW’s One Identity Manager, check out the frequently asked questions page.

In case you haven’t heard, Himmelfarb Library has a new electronic payment method for our Interlibrary Loan service! 

Have you ever received an invoice for your Interlibrary Loan (Documents2Go) requests? Receiving an invoice is an uncommon occurrence for most GW users, but in some circumstances, such as ordering a rush request (which incurs a $10 fee) or going over the Rule of 15 (which allows users to request 15 free articles in each half of the year, it is possible to accumulate a fee for ILL. We are excited to announce the implementation of TouchNet, a new platform that allows the electronic processing of payments for ILL invoices. Not only does TouchNet streamline the process of paying and processing an invoice as a whole, the straightforward process is convenient for both the library and the patron, and both recipients will receive an emailed copy of their invoice. 

In the event that you have received an invoice, you may remit payment through our TouchNet portal. We encourage all ILL users to take advantage of this method as payment will be processed in a timely manner at your convenience (for example, no waiting for staff to be available or to call you back). If you are unable to pay via credit card online, you can also call our ILL department at 202-994-286.

If you have not used ILL before, GW students, staff and faculty may access our Documents2Go portal and login with their GW UserID and password. Further information on both our Consortium Loan Service (CLS) and Interlibrary loans can be found on our new Research Guide. Invoices are sent out in the mail at the beginning of each month, so if you have any concerns about not receiving an invoice following your request right away, expect to see it in the mail at your registered address.  Additionally, you can reach out to our Interlibrary loan department at mlbdoc@gwu.edu with any questions you may have.
