Institute for Advanced Study

Faculty, members, and staff of the Institute for Advanced Study are eligible to borrow books and other material from the Princeton University Libraries at no cost. IAS members and staff not eligible for a Princeton University identification card (TigerCard) must check in with the Access Office in Firestone Library upon first visit to obtain a borrower's card. Note that the Access Office has more limited hours than do the libraries themselves.

IAS members: Please contact IAS librarian Marcia Tucker at tucker@ias.edu for information on access and borrowing.
