Library Card

To access and borrow materials from any of the WU libraries, you will need a WU Student ID or a WU library card.

WU students: As a student, your student ID card functions as a library card for the duration of your studies at WU.

WU faculty and staff: You can get your card at the library front desk in the Central Library or you can fill out this form. The library card will be delivered by in-house mail.

External library patrons: To apply for a library card, please come to the front desk in the Central Library during the opening hours of the library front desk. The library card will be issued at once (see the information about documents needed, costs and validity of the library card).
