My Library Account: How do I borrow books from the libraries?
Any regular student, staff or faculty at UCSD may check out materials marked “Available” in the Roger catalog. Just bring your books to one of our Circulation Desks. Your UCSD ID card is also your library card, and the barcode on the back is your library card number.
If the book is not available at UCSD (either because its checked out or we don’t own it), you will need your library card number to request the book from another library. Learn more about requesting books from other libraries.
