Registered library users have access to the library and its collections. Hampton Roads healthcare professionals have courtesy borrowing privileges. Faculty and graduate students of Virginia Tidewater Consortium member institutions have reciprocal borrowing privileges. The general public and area businesses may pay an annual subscription fee for borrowing privileges.

Institutional Review Board (IRB) support is an important library service at your disposal. Research librarians are available to conduct literature searches and provide training sessions in the use of information resources.
