Library First Year-Experience guide

From your library account, you can:

• View items checked out to you;
• Check due dates;
• Renew your borrowed items online;
• View HOLD requests (books you have requested that are currently checked-out to another patron).

Access your Library Account on the top, right corner of the library's homepage (library.aud.edu):

These credentials are different from your Blackboard account but we recommend you use the same login and password to make it easier to remember. 

Change, or if you have forgotten your password, reset it here.

Currently enrolled AUD students, faculty and staff can access the library's electronic resources off-campus by entering their usual login and password (Blackboard & AUD accounts) when prompted.

Some resources may ask for an additional login. 

See Accessing Electronic Resources on this guide for more information
