Library Access for Visiting Faculty and Scholars
UBC Appointed Visiting Scholars
Visiting Scholars who have an appointment with UBC Human Resources may apply for a UBCcard through the UBC Carding Office .
A valid CWL (Campus Wide Login ) associated with your appointment is required to access library eResources.
A valid UBCcard (physical or digital version) is required to borrow books and access many library services.
Non-UBC Appointed Visiting Scholars
Visiting Scholars collaborating with UBC Faculty members may receive library access through Faculty Authorization.
UBC Faculty can authorize library access to people they are working with through a Faculty Authorization library account.
Full access to UBC library eResources and physical library books will be available.
Complete the Faculty Authorization Form and submit the document as a PDF to library.accounts@ubc.ca for processing. The account details will then be sent by email.
Faculty members visiting from other universities may be eligible for UBC Community Borrower library privileges through reciprocal borrowing arrangements .
