Q. Can I use computers or databases in the library if I'm not a UNL student?

All community members, affiliates of the University, and out-of-state visitors, who are over 18 years old can request a library card.

• Library cards give you access to login to specified community-use computers and you'll be able to access licensed databases while within the library.
• Community cards do not allow for off-site access to licensed content.
• The length of time on the computers is dependent on your community status.
• There are no fees associated with getting a library card.

You can apply for a card online or at the ASKus desks at Love Library South or Dinsdale Family Learning Commons.

Visit the Library Cards links below for more information regarding identification you will need to provide for a Community User Card.

• Lincoln City Library cardholders can use computers in their library branches. You can also access some of their online resources from home: https://www.lincolnlibraries.org/borrow-and-learn/databases-and-research/
• Any Nebraska resident can use NebraskAccess online resources here: http://nebraskaccess.nebraska.gov/
