You will likely need to login once you attempt to access a library database or ebook for the first time in your research session.
When the white login screen "Login to Library Databases" appears, enter your JCC Network ID login, which is slightly different than your MyJCC/Brightspace login, you only need to enter your first initial, last name, month of birth in two digit format, and day of birth in two digit format.
