Applying for the use of the HFU libraries

BIB 10-005

What you need to know

Our HFU libraries on all campuses are open to students, staff, faculty, and the general public. There you will find a wide selection of print and digital media: over 50,000 books, access to more than 350,000 e-books, and approximately 25,000 e-journals. In addition to academic literature, we also offer light reading for the semester break.

HFU members (faculty and staff) can register for library access using their HFU Card; the HFU Card then serves as a library card. Students are automatically registered as users with their valid enrollment.

Interested external users will be issued with an HFU guest card. Access to our e-resources is available to this group on a limited basis whilst on site at the campus libraries. Further information can be found on the HFU Libraries website.
