How To:

Obtain Your Library Account Number

Most students and faculty will have a barcode printed of the back of their FSU ID that serves as a library card. If the barcode doesn't work or is missing:

  • Please come to the Whittemore Library's Access Services Desk
  • You will be asked to fill out a registration card.
  • A library barcode sticker will be applied to your Framingham State ID card
  • Your information will be entered to set up your library account.
  • The whole process only takes a few minutes.

If you are a continuing education or graduate student and do not have a Framingham State ID card:

  • Please bring some proof of enrollment with you to the Access Services Desk.
  • This could be a copy of your bill, anything from the registrar, or even a syllabus.
  • We will then issue you a library card.

If you are an online student (who never comes to campus) and you need a library card number to place an Interlibrary Loan request:

  • Please send an email to Access Services and you will be contacted about what information is needed.
  • When you receive your library account number, you will need to type it in by hand to ILL request forms.

 

NOTE:  Do not use the “Get a library card” option from the Minuteman catalog.  That is only for patrons at public libraries, not academic libraries, and it will NOT give you an FSU card.
