Verify that your name is shown in the top right corner after logging in.

If the top right corner still shows "Guest" after logging in, please verify that you are logged in with your Lionmail account and not with a personal Google account (a very easy mistake to make - we've all done it). If you've double checked you're using your Lionmail account and it still shows "Guest," please contact the library for assistance. You can reach us at library@sagu.edu or at (972) 825-4761. Some users have success using an Incognito browser window.
