Howard University is a full partner in the Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC), so Howard students may use the AU library either in person or may request books through our Consortium Loan Service (CLS).
In addition to AU, Howard students may use all of the WRLC libraries.
Each library has slightly different protocol for use. Here at AU, just walk in the front door. If you want to log on to a computer, go to the Circulation and Course Reserves desk, show them your Howard University ID and ask for a log in & password (it's good for one day, so do this each time you come.)
If you want to search our databases while you are here, be sure to bring a flash drive to save your articles. Once you leave campus, you won't be able to access our databases. Right now none of the WRLC libraries shares site licenses for their databases and electronic books.
At some libraries, like George Washington University, you will need to show your Howard University ID to the security officer for admission.
If you have any questions or would like additional help, please visit our Ask a Librarian page.
