Affiliate Library Use

The scope of access and use will vary in accordance with the affiliation type, and may change based on the University’s designation. The University establishes procedures for verifying the eligibility of persons seeking to access and use electronic content licensed by the University. Eligibility to use University licensed content shall cease when affiliation ends or is terminated.

The privilege of initial and continued eligibility to use licensed content by persons external to the University of Utah requires annual verification through the University’s affiliate process. 

By University policy and in line with licensing agreements, not all affiliations grant access to electronic content.

All affiliations are processed through University of Utah Human Resources and can be started here:
