Obtaining your JCard

The J-Card is the University ID card and serves as a library card for borrowing materials. While J-Cards are optional for faculty, keep in mind that to obtain borrowing permissions from the Eisenhower Library, you must have an activated J-Card.

To obtain a J-Card, fill out the J-Card application and fax or mail it to the address below. The J-Card will be mailed to you at the address on your application. You do not need to have your picture on the card, but if you choose to have a picture, this must be done in person at the J-Card office. Once you have received your J-Card, it must be activated in order to borrow library materials. Your library account is activated the first time you check an item out of one of the library centers. You can also activate your account by calling the main Circulation Desk at 410-516-8370.
