How to Become an SJR State Library User

Current SJR State students and employees are automatically granted access to the resources and services of SJR State's Learning Resources department, including the Library, and have full access to available resources. No application is required. Students and employees use their College credentials to access online resources and must show a photo ID to check out resources from the Library.

Access to the services and resources housed within each functional area of Learning Resources varies by user group. Variations in access by user group are due to licensing restrictions, state legislative mandates, contractual agreements with vendors or cooperatives, and College policies dictating the use of computers, networks, and other resources. Complete details are provided in the Learning Resources Access Policy. Users' access to Library collections are summarized below.
