Yes, there are a few ways that non-UNL patrons (Community Users) can check out materials from the UNL Libraries.
If you are affiliated with another Nebraska college or university, you have reciprocal borrowing privileges with the UNL Libraries. You must provide an identification card from that university or college.
If you are a member of the University of Nebraska Alumni Association, one benefit is borrowing privileges from the UNL Libraries.
If you are a resident of the state of Nebraska, you are eligible for a fee-based borrower's card.
If you are a Lincoln high school student, you may be able to borrow books through our High School Program.
Borrowing privileges extend to books and CDs/DVDs but do not include journals or course reserves.
You can get a Community User card at Love Library and the Dinsdale Family Learning Commons. Please bring a photo ID and proof of your address.

Another option is to request items from the UNL Libraries using the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) services of your own local library.
