Library Card Information

Library Cards for Active Students

To request a Library Barcode send an email to onecard@widener.edu. The email should include the following information:

  • Full Name
  • Student ID Number
  • Class/es Attending and Semester
  • Home Address
  • Phone Number

To access the library databases from off campus, you will need to log in using your Widener Login ID (without @widener.edu) and password.

Once the One Card Office receives the email request, a Library Barcode will be created. If you would like an ID card to access the Campus please go to https://optic.widener.edu and submit your photo for a University ID card. University ID cards will be mailed to the address on file.

Library Cards for Alumni

To access the Library, Alumni need to obtain a Widener University Alumni ID from the One Card Office which is located in Lipka Hall. Please call 610-499-4161 or email onecard@widener.edu for further information on obtaining your Alumni ID.

If getting a new Alumni card, please contact User and Access Services during normal business hours at 610-499-4066 or email circulation@widener.edu to verify that your patron record is up to date to ensure appropriate library alumni services.
