Scholars and researchers who are visiting Tufts under the sponsorship of a department or faculty member may apply for Affiliate status in order to access library materials and subscription databases.
Register as an Affiliate
Please have the department head or program administrator complete the affiliate form on your behalf. Both you and your sponsor will receive a confirmation email once you are registered.
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.
