Your University ID is Your Library Card
Case Western Reserve University patrons may check out items from CWRU campus libraries, Cleveland Institute of Music libraries and OhioLINK libraries with their CWRU ID cards.
Expand your library material search beyond the campus and learn more through:
- Ohio's state-wide consortiums, OhioLINK and SearchOhio.
- National and International libraries, Interlibrary Loan.
Track due dates, renew items, and check the status of your OhioLINK and SearchOhio requests through the My Account Login Portal.
A Visiting Scholar is a researcher temporarily affiliated with the University as faculty, staff, or a student. The Visiting Scholar's sponsoring University department facilitates access to Kelvin Smith Library resources.
Please complete the following to borrow library materials:
- The sponsoring department requests a network ID through the Case Affiliate Request Form.
- After the network ID is created, the department completes the Visiting Scholar application.
Once both are successfully completed and confirmation received, Visiting Scholars are able to borrow materials from KSL with their Case ID.
Borrowing privileges for non-CWRU patrons may be found on the Alumni and Community page.
