Editing Your L2 Account and Affiliations

With an established L2 account, you can make changes to your account and affiliation. Common reasons to edit affiliation details include change of employer, job title, and contact information.

Updating Account Details

To edit your Account details such as your login email address, name, or privacy level, submit a ticket to the L2 helpdesk at help@librarylearning.org.

Updating Affiliation Details

Updating your affiliation is simple to do following these steps:

Note: If you are unable to log in because you forgot your password, follow the Forgot Password instructions provided on the site.

If you no longer have access to your login email address and cannot receive the reset password link, submit a ticket to the L2 helpdesk at help@librarylearning.org.

Navigate to My Dashboard, under the Account dropdown found in the purple menu bar in the top right corner.
The affiliation(s) for your account will display on the Dashboard page in boxes for each separate location or agency. You may have multiple locations or agencies affiliated with your L2 account, but you must have at least one location affiliation.
Click the purple Edit link next to the affiliation you wish to update.
If preparing to delete this affiliation, mark your Primary Affiliation as “Other Affiliation.”
Verify that the published checkbox is checked at the top of the form; it should be checked by default.

Changing Your Employer

To change the employer on your account, you’ll first need to add a new affiliation. Please note: you MUST create your new affiliation BEFORE removing your old one.

Adding a New Affiliation

To add a new affiliation to your existing account, follow these steps:

On the My Dashboard page (your name will be displayed at the top), click on the purple button labeled “Affiliate with a Location”
To add your affiliation, begin typing the name of your library in the Affiliation field, and select the correct library location from the list of matching suggestions that appears.
If this affiliation is your primary affiliation, please be sure to select “Primary affiliation” under the Primary Affiliation section.
Fill out the remainder of the form with the relevant information. Required fields are marked with asterisks.*

Field Name	Field Description
Role/Access Group*	Select from the following: Manager, Staff, or Board
Email Address*	Your Email Address will automatically populate, but you may change it. This email address will display as the contact email on your affiliation.
Job Title*	Your job title at the library.
Phone Number	The library’s phone number or your direct line/extension at the library; this may be left blank.
Fax Number	The library’s fax number; this may be left blank.
Functions/Responsibilities	Select from the list those that apply to you.

Click the purple Save button to save your new affiliation.
After saving your new affiliation, you’ll see a message that says your new affiliation must be confirmed. The L2 Administrators at your library’s regional library system or your public library’s director must review and confirm each new affiliation request. Confirmation may not be immediate; affiliations awaiting confirmation will be labeled “pending.”
Once confirmed, your new affiliation will be active.

Selecting a New Primary Affiliation

L2 accounts should ideally have one primary location affiliation at a time. If your primary affiliation changes, follow these steps to update your L2 account:

Navigate to the My Dashboard page (your name will be displayed at the top). The affiliation(s) for your account will display on the Dashboard page in boxes for each separate location or agency.
If your new primary affiliation does not exist, follow the directions for “Adding a New Affiliation” above. If the affiliation already exists, proceed with these steps.
Click on the purple Edit link next to the affiliation you’d like to select as your primary affiliation.
In the affiliation details under “Primary Affiliation,” set location affiliation to “Primary affiliation.”
Verify that the published checkbox is checked at the top of the form; it should be checked by default.
Click the purple Save button at the bottom of the form to save this change.
If your former primary affiliation should be removed from your account, please follow the instructions under “Removing an Existing Affiliation” below. If you’d like to keep your former primary affiliation as an affiliation on your account, proceed with the next step.
Return to the My Dashboard page, under the Account dropdown found in the purple menu bar in the top right corner.
Click the purple Edit link next to the affiliation that you would like to unselect as your primary affiliation.
In the affiliation details under “Primary Affiliation,” set location affiliation to “Other affiliation.”
Verify that the published checkbox is checked at the top of the form; it should be checked by default.
Click the purple Save button at the bottom of the form to save this change.

Removing an Existing Affiliation

NOTE: you MUST create your new affiliation BEFORE removing your old one. Once an affiliation is deleted, it cannot be recovered. Affiliations must be recreated if the user needs to be affiliated with the location again. 

Navigate to the My Dashboard page (your name will be displayed at the top). The affiliation(s) for your account will display on the Dashboard page in boxes for each separate location or agency.
Click on the purple Edit link next to the affiliation you’d like to remove.
Uncheck the published checkbox at the top of the form; it will be checked by default
Click the purple Save button at the bottom of the form to save this change.

Affiliation type

This affiliation will not be saved as your primary affiliation, because your affiliation with Reaching Across Illinois Library System (Burr Ridge Service Center) is set as your primary affiliation. Click here to edit that affiliation and set it as an “other” affiliation if you want this one to be your primary affiliation.
