Using the Library
All of our library systems use the UD Central Authentication System to verify that you are affiliated with the University of Delaware. This means that you'll need to access our online resources from this guide or from the library homepage.
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute Members with valid University of Delaware I.D. cards may check out print books from Morris Library and the branch libraries as well as videos from the Film & Video Collection. Detailed policies for Film & Video are here.
Note that the library is offering a pickup service for checking out physical materials during COVID-19.
