Leap: How do I use Leap?

Answer

Leap is a web-based circulation tool for Polaris that will allow circulation staff to perform basic library services through their web browser. Although Leap has been designed to work best on a laptop, it will work on tablets as well.
 

Accessing Polaris LEAP Internally:

Assessing Polaris LEAP Externally:

Logging into Polaris LEAP:

You will log in to LEAP using the format NL\N [Branch Code] [Username].  For example, if somebody named John Smith wanted to access LEAP, their username would look like

  • NL\NABOYjsmith if they worked in Boyle
  • NL\NABOAjsmith if they worked in Bon Accord

The password will be the same as your regular Polaris and computer desktop login. 

As a note, NL\ ends with a backslash, which is the slash key typically under the backspace button on your keyboard. There is also a forward slash on your keyboard that will not work (this kind of slash is found on the question mark key beside the Shift button). Please use the backslash when typing your login information.
