For Alumni

All library users 18 years of age or older must have a current Biola ID, Alumni ID, Biola library card, or day pass for entrance. Children (ages 13-17) of alumni must remain with a parent or guardian at all times while using the library.

Library entrance or borrowing may be purchased for a nominal fee. Biola alumni are issued a free Alumni ID card from Auxiliary Services. Alumni ID cards must be activated at the Library Reception Desk before being used for library entrance or borrowing.

Biola alumni may access all library databases from on campus, provided they are logged into the Biola network. Note that only selected databases are available to alumni from off-campus. Off campus access to selected databases may require a NetID login or a login provided by Alumni Relations. See the list of alumni accessible databases for a detailed description of each database and instructions.

Alumni can use their NetID to use a library computer. Alternatively, they can get a guest account from Tech Commons, which is located on the middle level of the library.

The Biola Library Code of Conduct is designed to create a safe and quiet environment for all patrons to enjoy. The library and its contents is a shared resource and, as such, requires all patrons to treat it, and the other patrons who use it, with respect and consideration. Library users are responsible for informing themselves of library policies.
