Borrowing Library Materials
Start by applying for your UBC Card. This is also your Library card, and you will need to know the barcode and pin number associated with it to use the Library's InterLibrary Loans and Document Delivery services. Check out the UBC Card website for more information and/or the Distance Education Students Help Portal if you live at a distance from UBC.
Home Delivery
As a UBC student, you have full access to the wide range of print and electronic collections through the Library. Registered UBC Distance Education students living in Canada or the United States are also eligible for free home delivery of print books and dvds/cds. Return shipping within Canada is also free. Journal articles are delivered online. See the Distance Education Students Help Portal to learn more about these services.
