The Evanston campus collections in humanities, history, and social sciences, including the Music and Transportation Libraries, are housed in the University Library and the adjoining Charles Deering Library. During evening and most weekend hours, use of the main library, Deering, and the science-engineering library is limited to Northwestern students, faculty, and staff and to others who are affiliated with the University. Users are required to present their current Northwestern identification cards to gain admittance to these libraries during the hours of limited access. Lost cards should be reported immediately to the WildCARD Office at Norris Center and then to the Library Privileges Desk. You are responsible for all books charged out on a lost card before it has been reported.
Cards are nontransferable.
You must report your change of address to the Registrar's Office. Books are charged out for an initial loan period of four weeks and may be renewed up to three times. All materials are subject to recall after the first two weeks if needed by another user or immediately if needed for reserve. Late returns of reserve books are subject to a higher penalty fine than regular loans. The loan policy for reserve books is available at the reserve desk.
