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.
