Frequently Asked Questions

• What is valid photo ID?
  
  • Our requirement for "valid photo ID" means that you must present one or more documents that, together, provide both your PHOTO and your current ADDRESS. Some examples of useful identification include student or faculty ID, corporate ID, driver's license, non-driver's license, and/or a passport.

• How can I get a Researcher Pass?
  
  • Go to any reference desk and speak with the librarian or archivist working there. You must show valid photo ID and (1) a letter or email recommendation from your home institution, or (2) provide a detailed written explanation describing your research need.
  • The reference librarian/archivist is authorized to approve requests with a signed and dated form to that effect.
  • Show the reference librarian's completed form at any circulation desk to obtain a week-long temporary ID and password.
