UWAA Members are eligible for a free UW Libraries Borrower’s Card
UW Libraries are now open during regularly scheduled hours. Learn more about UW libraries hours and the UW Libraries operations and policies.
UWAA members can obtain their UW Libraries card remotely or in person by contacting UW Library Account Services. Privileges include checkout of UW Libraries materials.
Current UW Alumni Association members may enter select library buildings* as long as they have a library account, their current UWAA card (either the physical version OR the electronic version in the UWAA app), and a photo ID with them. Please note that library accounts must be issued by Library Account Services during their regular business hours prior to their visit.
Online access to UW Libraries journals:
As a member, UWAA provides you access to EBSCO Academic Search Alumni Edition online journals. The Libraries’ contracts for online journals are separate from UWAA.
The Libraries licenses and agreements with publishers for access to online journals limit access to current students, faculty, and staff of the University. The Libraries cannot expand remote access to the online journals without being in violation of those agreements.
* For questions or concerns regarding access and privileges of a UW Library Borrowers Card, visit their website or contact them at libaccts@uw.edu or 206-543-1174.
