The Libraries of Florida International University respect and promote the individual's right to privacy concerning use of library resources and materials. Library accounts are maintained with the highest degree of security. Information within library accounts may be used only for the purpose of providing library services. This information is not shared with any other individual, including family members. Library staff will not reveal the identify of patrons or materials checked out, except as required by law (Florida Statute Section 257.261).
The Rights of Privacy and Confidentiality include but are not limited to these services:
FIU students must be registered for classes in the current semester and present a current FIU One Card to borrow materials, otherwise borrowing privileges are not provided. Graduate students performing thesis and dissertation research must be registered if only for this purpose.
FIU faculty and staff must be currently employed by FIU and present their FIU One Card to borrow materials. Adjunct faculty must be currently employed during the semester to have library privileges.
FIU Alumni are eligible for borrowing privileges with their FIU One Card, with the exception of Course Reserves and electronic devices. No longer have your card? Just request a Library Card at the Circulation desk of the library and you'll be able to check out materials again.
Florida Public University and Community College students, faculty and staff are eligible for borrowing privileges with a valid ID from their home institution.
Students and Faculty from participating SEFLIN institutions with a current SEFLIN access card from their home institution may have borrowing privileges.

Members of the general public and other non-FIU patrons may have access to online licensed databases while on-site and visiting the Green Library (MMC) and the Hubert Library (BBC). Due to contractual arrangements with the vendors of licensed databases, off-campus online access is limited to current FIU employees and currently registered FIU students.
