Faculty & Administration Guide

Program Description

The University Library of California State University, Long Beach offers faculty and junior and senior secondary school students of the Long Beach Unified School District an outreach program to obtain a University Library card and to access remotely selected library databases. The purpose of this program is to provide LBUSD students and faculty the opportunity to enrich their educational experiences through exploration and use of the wealth of resources in an academic library.

The University Library offers the following services to Long Beach Unified School District students, faculty and librarians:

University Library Cards

Faculty: University Library cards are issued to currently employed full-time faculty, including librarians, in the Long Beach Unified School District. Current proof of full-time employment is required. Library cards are valid for one year from the date of issue. Contact Vicky Munda at (562) 985-5567 for further information.

Students: University Library cards are issued to junior and senior LBUSD secondary school students who are enrolled in a Gifted and Talented Program or an Advanced Placement Program. Lists of eligible students must be submitted by the School Librarian to the University Library prior to a student receiving a card. School Librarians should call (562) 985-4011 to find out how to submit the names of eligible students. After the eligibility lists have been received, cards will be issued to eligible students upon presentation of their current high school identification card to the University Library Circulation Desk. Students must know their social security number to receive a card.
