Tipasa Patron Portal Access

The Tipasa Patron portal URL is: https://853.account.worldcat.org/account

The link is also on the Library web site in various places, notably on the home page under the Tools & Resources menu:

Knox users will authenticate to the patron portal with their Knox credentials (just like signing into myl.knox.edu.) When an individual accesses the patron portal for the first time their Tipasa account is created automatically. 

Patron Portal Features

An individual's patron portal stores Tipasa ILL requests. Actions a patron can do include:

  • Download a pdf. Patrons are limited to 5 downloads or 30 days before the item becomes unavailable, whichever comes first. 
  • Renew a loan. Renewals are not automatic and are allowed only at the discretion of the library that owns the item.
  • Request an item again.

The patron portal is also the place where a patron can place a Tipasa ILL request by filling in a form. The CREATE REQUEST button appears in the top-right.
