Obtaining a Watson Library card

Everyone who uses materials in Watson Library, even those who do not check books out, must have a reader’s card. You will be asked to fill out a form at the Watson Library Circulation Desk. Once this form is complete, you will be given a card. Your card is linked to a patron record in the library database that indicates whether you have stacks or checkout privileges.
