The SFSU ID card (see SFSU ID Cards above) is needed to borrow books and access some other services on-site at SFSU’s J. Paul Leonard Library. For further information, visit the SFSU Library Website at www.library.sfsu.edu/general/general.html.

Students do not need an SFSU ID card to access electronic SFSU Library resources such as databases, e-journals, and e-books.
