The MIT Libraries are implementing a phased plan for providing access to physical collections. We will update the Libraries’ service updates page as services evolve. Library locations and study spaces remain closed until further notice.
Most services will be limited to current MIT faculty, students, and staff. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
The MIT Libraries' primary purpose is to support MIT's teaching, research, and scholarly activities. Access to some resources and services is reserved for the MIT community.
The Libraries provide limited in-person reference and telephone assistance to visitors:
Library Borrowing Cards permit borrowing of materials, with some exceptions, in accordance with library policy.
Please note: Borrowing privileges do not include offsite access to licensed electronic material (i.e. databases and ejournals), or on-site access to licensed resources that require MIT authentication.
For information on wireless access to MITnet, consult Wireless MITnet access@MIT.
No MIT affiliation is required to use these services. For instructions, visit the Scan, Copy, & Print guide.
