You must present a validated University of Hawai'i ID card and provide a hawaii.edu email address for notification of library-related matters. Use of hawaii.edu email address is UH System policy.

Lecturers in Law/Adjunct Faculty may use a current Hawai`i State Bar Association membership card to register but it allows a shorter loan period.
