CNR Students, Staff, Faculty and
other members of the CNR
community:
A
valid CNR ID card with a barcode
serves as a library card at all
CNR campuses and is required for
borrowing Library materials, for
Interlibrary (ILL) or
Intercampus Loan (ICL) requests
and to renew items using the
online catalog. CNR ID cards
are obtained at the Security
Office. The ID card must be
validated at the beginning of
each semester at the Security
Office. To ensure that your
card has been updated in the
Library’s system, bring your
validated CNR ID card to the
Library Circulation Desk at the
beginning of each semester. If
the expiration date on your
Library record has expired and
the "valid through" date on your
CNR ID card has expired, you
will be asked to show the
Library proof of registration
for the current or upcoming
semester.
Alumnae/i:
To obtain borrowing
privileges at Gill Library,
CNR alumnae/i may apply
for a Gill Library Alumnae/i
Card. Alumnae/i Cards are
issued at the Circulation
Desk in Gill Library upon
completion of an application
with presentation of a valid
photo ID and $25 (cash or
check payable to Gill
Library). A Gill
Library Alumnae/i Card is
valid for one year from the
date the card is
issued. When the card
expires, CNR Alumnae/i may
apply for a renewal.
Due to database licensing
restrictions, only students
currently enrolled at CNR
and the faculty and staff of
the College may obtain a CNR
Network User name and
Password, which allows them
to have remote access to the
Gill Library databases.
Alumnae/i may access the
Gill Library databases on
site only by being logged on
to the CNR Network by a Gill
Library staff or faculty
member. Alumnae/i are
welcome to utilize many
other Gill Library resources
on site.
Subscribers:
To
obtain borrowing privileges at
Gill Library, a patron who is
not a CNR alumna/us or currently
affiliated with CNR may apply
for a Gill Library Subscriber
Card. Subscriber cards are
issued at the Circulation Desk
in Gill Library upon completion
of an application
with presentation of a valid
photo ID and $50 (cash or check
payable to Gill Library). A
Gill Library Subscriber Card is
valid for one year from the date
the card is issued. When the
card expires, Subscribers may
apply for a renewal.
