Login


UBC Library computers require users to log in using their Campus-Wide Login (CWL) or a Guest OpenAthens account. Community members, alumni and public users can obtain a generic OpenAthens access account or apply for their own OpenAthens account from the circulation desk at the branch they are visiting.
