Borrowers must be current members of the WSU Friends of the Libraries or gold members of the WSU Alumni Association.
A photo ID AND a membership or library card or other proof of affiliation is required to borrow materials. The University Libraries will issue a WSU library card if you do not already have a library account in our online circulation system. Lost WSU library cards may be replaced for $5.
The University Libraries will accept a driver's license for identification if the information on the license can be verified by a current library record in our online circulation system.
A barcoded library card is preferred to borrow materials in person from other OhioLINK libraries or WSU affiliated libraries, but a unique identifier and photo ID is acceptable.
Borrowing is normally limited to a total of 5 items, including up to 5 media items. Exceptions may be authorized by the Head of Resource Delivery Services. Borrowers may also place requests on up to 5 items including OhioLINK and SearchOhio items.
Books may be returned to the University Libraries or any affiliated hospital library location. Although an outside book drop is available at the Dunbar Library, non-book materials should be returned at the Circulation Desk. A receipt may be requested when paying a fine.
