Access

The Faculty Study is accessible during the Library’s regular business hours. To access the room, swipe your UCSB Access ID card at the door. You must have the latest generation of Access ID, which were issued starting in 2012. To determine whether you have the newer Access ID, look on the back of the card (on the side with the horizontal black stripe). If you see the UCSB seal and a series of numbers along the bottom right, your card will work to enter the Faculty Study (see samples below). To obtain or upgrade an Access ID card, please contact your department; the Library does not issue or control Access ID cards. It takes approximately ½ hour from the time of issue for an Access ID card to work in the Faculty Study.
