For Distance Learning Students:
Students at our Calgary campus and those taking distance learning courses have access to all of the library’s online services.
Here are some services we would like to highlight for distance learning students:
- Information Literacy Skills: These online library research modules are available in French and English
- Remote Delivery: Students (and current members of academic staff) living more than 50 km from Edmonton can sign up for the library’s postal delivery service. Please note that students must have a OneCard to register for the program.
- Digital Copy Requests: All students and staff at the University of Alberta can now request a digital copy of a book chapter or print journal article held in the University of Alberta Library’s collections. They can also submit an interlibrary loan request for resources not held in our collections.
For community members:
Community members can borrow up to 30 items at a time for a two-week loan period. Users can obtain a borrowing card or use their public library card to create an account free of charge.
To create an account, you must go in person to one of the University of Alberta libraries. Valid identification and proof of residence in Edmonton are required.
Temporary Computer Access: Members of the community can get access to computers by presenting valid identification. They can also obtain a reloadable card to print documents.
Special Collections: Although community members have access to most library resources, they cannot borrow material from the special collections: robots, materials on reserve (course material), specialised or multimedia equipment.
