Remote Access To Heritage Quest Online
We have a new password system to access Heritage Quest from off-site locations. To gain remote access, first, go to our homepage at www.princetonpl.lib.in.us. Then click on the Genealogy button at the left of the page. At the top of the Genealogy page you will find the Heritage Quest link.

Once you click the link, you will be prompted to enter an Identification number. This will require your patron barcode listed on your library card. You will first enter the prefix “phqo” and then only the numbers, not the p, in your barcode. Since the Identification number requires that 10 digits be entered, you will need to fill in any remaining spaces by repeating zeros until the required spaces are filled.
Users will need to enter zeros and then their barcode for a total of 14 digits to access. If their barcode is less than 10 digits long, then they can load the backend with more zeros as necessary. Some examples:
A user with a 10 digit barcode would enter: phqo1234567890
A user with a 5 digit barcode would enter: phqo1234500000
A user with a 8 digit barcode would enter: phqo1234567800
