I am a student at another college. Can I check out books from UAB Libraries?
Answer
Current student?
Yes, if you are a student at another college or university in the state of Alabama, you can get a Courtesy card that will allow you to borrow a limited number of books.
To get a Courtesy card:
- Go to the Sterne Library or Lister Hill Library HUB desk.
- Present a valid school photo ID or some other proof of affiliation (such as a tuition statement or official letter).
Not a current student?
That's OK. Any citizen of Alabama is eligible to apply for a Courtesy card. For more information, see our Borrowing page.
Please note that hours are limited for users without a UAB ONE Card. Guest hours are listed on our UAB Libraries Access Guidelines page.
