An OWL card is the official photo identification card for the Florida Atlantic University community and will serve as your library card allowing you to check out physical books, DVDs and more from the library.
Should you wish to check out physical (e.g., print) materials from the library or to access additional OWL card benefits such as local discounts, you may opt to request an OWL card by contacting

OWL cards are no longer required to obtain remote access to the library! EZ Proxy now includes a field to enter either a user’s FAU NetID OR their OWL card number to get access to our electronic resources. All affiliates are given email addresses when their paper-work has been completed and thus can access our resources using just their FAU NetID and password.
Your FAU NetID is your email and will be used for official
correspondences and your ILL account. Check emails and
set up forwarding options by visiting Myfau.fau.edu.
Click on the Outlook option to gain access to your ac-
count.
Allows you to request books directly from participating libraries within the Florida state university system. This unmediated borrowing service increases your access to the collections of the other universities in Florida and delivers more quickly than standard Interlibrary Loan.
If you require materials (books or articles) that the FAU Libraries do not have available, you can request them through Interlibrary Loan. You will need to register with your FAU email and make an account the first time you use the service. Please use your FAU email.

OneSearch is a tool for searching across most of the FAU Libraries resources. Use it to search for journal articles, newspaper articles, books, digital collections, government documents, maps, music recordings, videos, and more.

EZProxy/ Off Campus Connect can be accessed through the above link OR through either the main FAU library website or medical library portal. All students and faculty must login through EZ Proxy
when off campus. In order to access journals and
databases., log in via EZ Proxy with your FAU Net ID
and password. If you have problems with EZ Proxy,
call the library circulation desk first and they can
check your account (561-297-6911).
Clicking on the “Find it @ FAU” automatically
searches the entire FAU holdings to determine if
full text access of the chosen journal article or
individual journal is available. Be sure to sign into
EZproxy BEFORE searching a library database (such
as PubMed) to insure you will have access to more
full-text articles. Findit@FAU will NOT appear if you
are not logged into the EZproxy. For example, this
service is available in PubMed where the icon will
appear on the top right of the screen when you
click on a specific article. This is in addition to Pub-
Med’s routine linking out to available “free articles”
from PubMed Central and other services.
