Access-Only Membership
Access-Only membership carries no borrowing privileges for all materials and no access to E-Resources.
Membership Fee
1 month ($21.80 inclusive of GST)
3 months ($43.60 inclusive of GST)
There will be a charge of $10.90 for any replacement card.
Payment is not refundable and is subject to Goods and Services Tax (GST).
Conditions
1. Library membership is governed by the University’s rules, regulations, and library policies. The Library reserves the right to review, suspend, or revoke membership in cases of concerns, complaints, or breaches of conduct. By taking up NUS Libraries membership, you agree to abide by our library rules and regulations published which are subject to revisions.
2. Access-Only members have access to the Central Library and the other 6 Special Libraries.
3. Use of materials in the Closed Stacks is extended to Access-Only members, for reading within the library premises only.
4. Access-Only members are NOT entitled to borrow any material or access electronic resources of NUS Libraries.
5. The Access-Only card is NOT TRANSFERABLE and must be presented when accessing NUS Libraries. The card must be returned to the Library when the membership expires.
6. The category of Library Membership is limited to a maximum of 3 months. We discourage further renewals after the first period as there are other membership categories suitable for longer term access to NUS Libraries. Hence, renewal of Access-Only membership is subject to approval by the Library on a case-by-case basis.
