Faculty Research Card

A small number of McGill faculty members need the option to borrow a large number items to conduct their research and teaching activities. However, as per BCI agreement, users can only borrow 100 items at at time.

To address the needs of McGill faculty members who need the option to borrow more than 100 items to conduct their research and teaching activities, faculty members can now request a second borrowing card, known as a Faculty Research Card.

This extra Faculty Research Card will allow faculty members to borrow 100 items in addition to the 100 they can borrow on their regular McGill card. The same rules concerning fines, loan periods, and automatic renewals will apply on both cards. As is the case with your regular borrowing account, you will still be expected to return an item if another user has placed a hold on it.

Both cards will have a borrowing limit of 100 items at a time each, which means that all items checked out to both cards will renew automatically unless requested by another user.

Logging in to your Faculty Research Card account

Your regular McGill borrowing account and your Faculty Research Card are two separate accounts that are not connected to one another.

Your Faculty Research Card account will have a different password from your regular McGill account. You will be sent a link to set the password for your Faculty Research Card after you submit your application for the card.

When signing in to your Faculty Research Card account, your login credentials will be the barcode on the physical card and the password that you set. Please follow the instructions found in the “All other borrowers” section of this page when logging in:
