Regional and Distance

Regional and Distance Library Services

All UNBC students, faculty, and staff are registered with the Geoffrey R. Weller Library within 24 hours from registration. This includes faculty, staff, and students who are located at our regional campuses or enrolled in distance courses.

To log in to your library account click the grey “Login” button and select “Log in with your UNBC username and password.” Logging into your library account gives you access to many online library services.

Online library services include:

  • Accessing electronic resources off-campus 
  • Requesting or renewing library materials
  • Viewing outstanding fines
  • Saving lists of material for later review.

Please note: If you obtain a new UNBC ID at anytime in the future it will take 24 hours for our library system to be updated with your new library barcode, however, your university credentials should continue to work for accessing electronic library resources.
