Current members of the University of Illinois Alumni Association are allowed to borrow regularly circulating monographs from University of Illinois collections and to use other library resources on-site. UIC Library sites include: Richard J. Daley Library and its branches (Mathematics Collection and Science Library), and the Library of the Health Sciences in Chicago, Peoria, Rockford and Urbana.
To borrow materials, alumni should present their current or life Alumni Association membership card and some form of photo-ID such as a driver's license or a passport.
Services not extended to members of the Alumni Association include interlibrary loan or other consortial borrowing outside the UI collections. UIC will request circulating materials from UIUC and UIS and can usually get copies of articles from those library sites. Off-site access to the proprietary data-bases is generally limited to current UIC faculty, staff, and students; however, on-site access to the full range of electronic resources is allowed. The University of Illinois Alumni Association and the Library have partnered to provide access to a select set of databases. More information is available on the Library's Services to Alumni gateway page. Circulation of laptops is restricted to current students, faculty, and staff. An I-card as well as library records substantiate current enrollment or employment.
For items that cannot be loaned, each library site has coin or card operated photocopiers for general use and printing services for in-Library use of proprietary materials. Periodicals, journals, and other serial publications are available for use within the Libraries.
