Service Overview
Use this service to request a new library account for yourself or request the renewal of your expired library account.
Current USask students, faculty, and staff do not need to use this form, since their library accounts are automatically created.
Your USask affiliation will determine what kind of University Library account you are eligible for. Access to electronic resources (online databases, ejournals, and ebooks) is determined by licenses that the library signs with publishers and varies depending on your affiliation. Most licenses permit only current USask students, staff, and faculty (including emeriti, adjunct professors, and research associates) to access e-resources from off campus. Alumni and members of the public have limited access to e-resources. For more information, review USask Library Borrowing Services.
To create a new library account if you do not have an NSID or any prior affiliation with the university, you must come in person to the service desk at any USask Library location during hours of opening. You must provide two pieces of identification. Together, these two pieces of ID must include your current address and photo.
Please click the green "Request / Renew Account" button to submit your service request.
