University staff members are eligible for borrowing privileges at all five campus libraries. These privileges include workplace and off-campus access to our research databases and other forms of online information. You also may obtain your University ID, purchase CTA tickets, and have your passport photo made at the ID & Privileges Office in Regenstein Library.
It is possible to conduct research from virtually anywhere using the Library's extensive collection of online journals, books, and digital images. If you have an internet connection, sign in to the system using your CNetID and password or UCHAD credentials (Medical Center employees).
Whether you have a question related to your job or your personal research interests, the Library's reference librarians and subject experts are available to help.
Would you like to learn more about the Library, its resources, and how to use them to better advantage? Librarians can design a workshop specifically for you and your work group--at your office or in the Library. Examples of classes include an EndNote workshop for secretaries in one department, or a demonstration of research databases for staff engaged in a particular kind of research.
To arrange a training class for your group, contact us.
The Library holds open training sessions and workshops throughout the year. Upcoming workshops are posted to the Library Workshop and Events Calendar.
The University Archives forms part of the Special Collections Research Center (SCRC), located in Regenstein Library. The archives include departmental records, administrative records, photographs, and campus publications. If you need to research any aspect of University of Chicago history, the Special Collections Research Center is a good place to begin.
SCRC is digitizing the Library's collection of historical photos of the University, some of which are now available online through the Archival Photographic Files website.
