In short, you gotta have one.
So, you're probably asking yourself, how do I get an ID card? And if you're not asking yourself that questions, you should be! Since there's generally some confusion at the start of the school year the Librarians at the Evans Library are here to help...
1. Contact the Public Safety Office at 762-7651 ext. 7-4000 to inquire about scheduled dates and times for ID processing.
2. Go the the Public Safety Office, P-144 (Physical Education Building).
3. Fill out some forms.
4. Smile for the camera. :)
5. That's it!
Then come to the Evans Library with your ID where you'll be able to:
- Login and use any of the computers in the Library. The back of your ID has a barcode with a string of numbers. The last 6 digits of those numbers are your ID number. You'll then enter the first five letters of your last name. Remember that (you can always look at your ID if you forget) and you'll be all set!
- Check out books/DVDs/CDs. You can't borrow anything from the Evans Library without your ID
- Use headphones (these are popular items and you'll need to have your ID with you to check them out)
- Borrow items (books/articles/DVDs) that your instructors have placed on Reserve.
- Have access to our databases from home. This is key if you're working from home or are taking an online/blended class.
Sounds easy, right? It is. Like we said, there's a lot you can do in the Evans Library with your ID card, and not much to do without one!
