Library Cards for Active Students

To access the library databases from off campus, you will need to log in using your Widener credentials (email address and password).

Need an ID Card?  IDs can be produced by the Office of Campus Safety located on the back side of Old Main during normal business hours.  Your ID photo can be taken by Campus Safety or you can upload a preferred photo in advance at https://optic.widener.edu.
