Library Barcode


Your KU library barcode number is the 16-digit number on the front of your KU ID card beginning 50392 or 622001, or the 14-digit number on your yellow library card beginning 20506.

Enter the number exactly as it appears. Do not include spaces.

If you are currently enrolled in courses at KU, or are a KU employee, your library barcode number will permit remote access to EBSCOhost and several other periodical databases.

If you are a KU student or employee and you can't get into password-protected databases, please contact the library by calling (610) 683-4480. Write down the error message to help us determine the problem.
