Students, Faculty, and Staff
Evergreen automatically creates a library user/borrower account for students, faculty, and staff who join the college. A current Evergreen ID serves as your library card. The first time you use your library card, folks at the Circulation Desk will request that you show an ID and confirm your contact information.
Account holders may borrow from the library's physical collections - books, maps, cds, dvds, and other stuff - and use online services. These include searching the catalog, requesting materials, and accessing subscription databases of academic literature.
Some online services are password protected, including subscription databases when used off campus. Your full name and registration number, exactly as they appear on your ID card, count as your username and password in all library account matters. Our beloved emeritus faculty retain their Greener accounts after retirement.
Community Borrowers
Those without an official affiliation with Evergreen may establish a community borrower's account. Necessary identification includes a photo ID and a document that shows a current address - a personal check, phone bill, etc. Community borrowers may borrow books but not tapes, cds, or dvds.
Community users may temporarily access subscription databases from computers within the library.
Extended Education Students
EE does not involve admission to the college. EE students may establish and use library accounts as community borrowers.
Questions About Your Account
You can view your account online or call the Circulation Desk at 360-867-6250.
