Affiliate scholars and researchers

As an Affiliate scholar, you have full access to the collections and services of Tisch Library and its branches. You will need to register in order to gain borrowing privileges and access to subscription databases. 

Register as an Affiliate

Complete the Affiliate scholar form linked below, including a signature from the department head or program administrator.  

Email the completed and signed form to Tisch Library’s Access Services Department or submit the application in person at the Information and Circulation Desk at Tisch Library. Once you are registered, you will receive a confirmation email.

Borrowing materials

As an affiliate, you can check out books and scores for 90 days, with the option to renew up to 18 months. DVDs and CDs can be borrowed for 14 days with renewals up to 1 month.

Interlibrary loan

You may request items via Interlibrary loan. Registering for an Interlibrary loan account is different for visiting scholars. Please contact our Interlibrary Loan team for assistance.
