Using the Libraries

Borrowing Information for External Borrowers

Everyone is welcome to use the UVic Libraries.

Members of library consortia, government bodies, UVic Alumni Association, and others are entitled to free privileges with presentation of appropriate documentation. Consult our list of External Borrower categories to see if you qualify.

If you would like to purchase a library card (please note this card will not provide access to online materials), please visit a library loan desk.

We offer Corporate library privileges to companies who would like to delegate members to borrow from the library.

Are you a student, staff, or faculty member? See University Borrowers.
