Regional and Distance Library Services

Regional and Distance Library Services are offered to current UNBC students, faculty and staff located at our regional campuses or enrolled in distance courses.

All students, faculty, and staff are registered with the Geoffrey R. Weller Library within 24 hours from course registration; this normally enables users to access their library account and online library resources with their campus login if they hold a current University ID. If you experience any issues with library access, please contact the library.

There are two possible login methods available for users to access library resources, providing that they have both been activated or setup: your campus login and your library barcode and password method.

  • If you are unable to login to library resources with your campus login, please contact us and we will activate or update your library barcode and password. After set up, the library barcode and password method can be used immediately after we update it in our library system.
  • The alternative to the campus login method is your library barcode and password. You will need to contact the library to set this method up if you have not obtained a UNBC ID card.
  • You may also find it helpful to refer to our login troubleshooting information for some general tips about accessing library resources.

It is VERY IMPORTANT for all users to obtain a UNBC ID card to ensure that your campus login works. If you are a new faculty or staff member, a new student, or have had a recent change in your student status, please contact the Office of the Registrar to update your record. 

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.
