What is it?

All members of the UB Alumni Association can obtain library privileges.


How does it work?

Join the UB Alumni Association
By mail: 109 Allen Hall, Buffalo NY 14214

You may present your valid UB Alumni Association card along with a photo ID at any UB Libraries Circulation desk and you will be issued a card immediately.


What services does it provide?

Borrowing privileges at all campus library locations. In-library access to searchable databases.

Word processing, productivity software, and InterLibrary Loans are NOT available.

Due to licensing agreements with database vendors, remote access to article indexes and other databases is restricted to current UB students, faculty, and staff.

Guest users of the Libraries may print from the library research stations at the cost of 10 cents per page. Printing requires the use of a Print/Copy Debit Card. The document iprint@ub has full instructions.
