Library Privileges for Users
COVID-19 Update
Library privileges are currently restricted to to primarily UCD faculty, staff, students and emeriti. Some other user categories retain limited privileges as well.
Unfortunately, we are not issuing new library accounts for non-affiliated users at this time.
The UC Davis Library offers a variety of courtesy and fee-based library account types. Loan limits, due dates, and eligibility for services such as Interlibrary Loan and Document delivery, will vary based upon user category.
