TRLN Visitors & Robertson Scholars

Triangle Research Library Network patrons (UNC-CH, NCCU, NCSU) may use their home institution ID to check out material at any Duke University Library. Your ID will be entered into our system and is subject to confirmation of your current enrollment.

Robertson Scholars may use their Duke ID to check out materials from Duke, and their UNC OneCard to check out materials from UNC. See Library Resources for Robertson Scholars

Borrowing Policies

While everyone is welcome to make on-site use of the library, those who do not have a current, formal relationship with Duke must pay an annual fee for a borrowers card in order to check books out.

Patrons must present their Borrowers Card at the circulation desk to check out materials from the library. Books have 4 week loans and a check out limit of 10 books.

Please note that books may be recalled for use by another patron after two weeks. There is no two week guaranteed loan period for books recalled for use by Reserves. Return recalled books promptly as there is a fine of $3/day past due date for recalls. To protect your privacy, the library does not give out the name of the patron who has checked out a book.
