Any non-alumnus who is an Oklahoma resident and not affiliated as a student, employee, or associate of the University of Oklahoma may apply for a Borrower's Permit. The permit is for an individual, good for one year, costs $50.00, and allows a library patron to borrow books from the University of Oklahoma Libraries on the Norman Campus. To obtain a Borrower's Permit, an individual must meet all the following criteria:
- Minimum 18 years of age
- Proof of Oklahoma residency
- Photo Identification - valid state driver's license, state I.D. card, passport, military I.D.
- No University of Oklahoma affiliation
- No unpaid bills at the University of Oklahoma
- Exact change or check only
To apply, please print the Borrower's Permit Request Form and submit the form and payment (exact change or check only) to the Administration Office, Room 212NW on the second floor of the Bizzell Memorial Library during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).
Please bring a copy of proof of residency and a valid photo ID. You will be allowed to borrow up to 30 books for 30 days, with 5 renewals. Your card is good for one year, and you are subject to the same fines as students.
NOTE: We are unable to provide off-campus access to databases to borrowers, but you may apply for a temporary ID to use these databases at the Bizzell library Circulation Desk.
