UHart Patrons Visiting Other Universities
University of Hartford students, faculty, or staff may request a BLC borrower's card. Service requires a valid University of Hartford email login and password to apply.
Eligible patrons can visit the Mortensen Library circulation desk in person to request a card, or they can use this form to apply online.
- The card is valid through the fiscal year (ends June 30th).
- In addition, when you visit a participating BLC library and present your BLC card, the other library will generally give you their own library card.
More information on participating libraries, privileges, and policies can be found on the BLC Consortium Card information page (policies are near the bottom of the page).
- Borrowing privileges, loan periods, fine policies, and card expiration dates vary at each library. You are responsible for any charges you accrue. Failure to abide by member library policies may result in the loss of library privileges at all BLC libraries.
- You may return borrowed BLC materials to the U of H libraries, but you may be held responsible for any charges for overdue items or materials lost in route.
