Guest Access Without a NetID

To connect to the wireless internet in the library without a NetID:

  1. Choose “Guest-Northwestern” as your wireless network

If you would like to access electronic resources, you will need to use a library computer with a Guest NetID. 

Accessing Library Resources From Off-campus

Only Northwestern students, faculty and staff with active NetIDs may access most library resources due to licensing agreements.
