Library-issued visitor borrowing cards only provide on-site check-out privileges; they do not include access to licensed electronic databases, nor do they include access to our Interlibrary Loan services. With the exception of proxies, visiting patrons may only have one active library card at a time. The patron to whom a card is issued is the only person authorized to use it; patrons should not lend their cards to others.
After submitting this application, for card service Monday through Friday 8am-5pm, you may come to any Purdue campus library. For service outside those times, please come to the Library of Engineering & Science (inside the Wilmeth Active Learning Center) Sunday through Thursday 5pm to midnight. Hours may vary during breaks and holidays. Visitor borrowing cards are valid for one year and may be renewed upon request by borrowers in good standing.
