NU-Q Library

Library Membership

NU-Q students, faculty, staff

NU-Q students, staff, and faculty are automatically members of the NU-Q Library.

NU-Q alumni

Library use and borrowing privileges are available to NU-Q alumni and they are eligible for a library card upon graduation. The card is renewable on a yearly basis.

Borrower's cards do not grant patrons access to NU Library's online databases, which require the use of a NetID. Interlibrary loans are not available to alumni.

Family members of NU-Q employees

Spouses and children over the age of 15 of NU-Q faculty or staff may obtain a borrower's card, valid for up to one year.

Borrower's cards do not grant patrons access to NU Library's online databases, which require the use of a NetID. Interlibrary loans are not available to family borrowers.
