Borrowing

Your FlyerCard is your library card. University of Dayton students, faculty and staff may borrow books, multimedia and equipment

UDiscover is the main search interface to find books, articles and more. Log in to your Library Account to view and manage the items you've borrowed, favorited or requested.

Courtesy cards are available to other people who do not have a current account at the University. Learn more about our services for alumni and visitors.
