Your CarolinaCard is your library card. You need it to enter the library and check out books.

On the Columbia Campus, you can get a CarolinaCard at their office in the basement of the Russell House. If you are unable to come to campus, Distributed Learning Support Services can issue you a library ID card.

Students at a distance can take advantage of most library resources by signing in with their network username and password without needing a CarolinaCard. See the link below to learn more about accessing resources from off campus.

If you are not currently affiliated with the University of South Carolina, you can get borrowing privileges by joining either the USC Alumni Association or Friends of the University Libraries.
