Access to Library Services

The Libraries' reference and information services are available to all individuals on site, by telephone, by correspondence, and electronically. Public scanners are located in each of the libraries and are available for use by all individuals on site. Some libraries also provide photocopiers.

The Libraries' online services are available to current faculty, students, staff, and faculty emeriti of the university wherever they are located.

Anyone may use Ask a Librarian, the electronic reference service, wherever they are located. Anyone with Rutgers borrowing privileges may use "My Account" to view their library record and renew their books online, wherever they are located. University affiliates may also qualify to request Rutgers materials, use Interlibrary Loan and Article Delivery, and use library instructional services. Other individuals are referred to their public library or other library at which they have privileges.

Borrowing Privileges

Primary borrowers are currently part of the university community by virtue of enrollment or employment, formal agreements with other institutions, and certain affiliated persons considered on a case-by-case basis. Primary borrowers who are current Rutgers students, faculty, staff, and faculty emeriti are eligible for off-campus access to licensed databases, e-journals, and electronic reserves through the Libraries' proxy server.

Certain categories of individuals by virtue of their association with the University may be extended guest borrower status at the Libraries. See our Borrow and Return Library Materials page for more information.
