Non-Profit Professional Staff
Professional staff of non-profit organizations (educational, cultural, religious, scientific, or medical institutions in the Chicago metro area), doing research for those institutions may apply for a Borrower's Card, valid for three months, if they present:
- a letter of request from their organization that accepts financial responsibility (however, teachers and librarians other than those of institutions of higher education need only show proof of status at the school or business);
- one piece of ID with a current Chicago metropolitan area address;
- a $50.00 fee for three months of borrowing privileges; and
- additional documentation may be required, contact the Library Privileges Desk to inquire.
*Borrower's cards do not grant patrons access to NU Library's online databases, which require the use of a NetID. NUIT assigns NetIDs only to current NU students, faculty, and staff members. Any library guest can request a free temporary NetID (or "day pass") for use on the premises (see the Guest NetIDs page for where to request one).
