PLEASE NOTE: The February 6 registration event has been postponed due to inclement weather. Please join us on Feb. 13, 19, or 26.

All MIT faculty, students, and staff can visit and borrow from Harvard simply by registering. The MIT Libraries have arranged for on-site registration here on campus to help streamline the process.

Come to Hayden Library on one of our registration days on Feb. 13, 19, and 26:
 

1) Bring your MIT ID and government-issued ID

2) Log into Borrow Direct via Touchstone. DUO authentication is required; please have your mobile phone set up with DUO.

3) Then you can go to the Harvard card office (Smith Center) to get your borrowing card.

Smith Campus Center
1350 Massachusetts Ave., 8th floor
Phone: 617.496.7827
Mon-Fri: 9am-4pm; Closed Sat, Sun, and university holidays

Already have Harvard access and need to renew? Bring your Harvard ID (you must still have this) to Hayden Library on one of our registration days and follow steps 1&2 above to reactivate.

Can't come to Hayden on one of these dates? You can also apply online and confirm your affiliation via a Zoom appointment. You can then pick up your card at Harvard's Smith Center ID office at your convenience. Learn more about using Harvard's libraries at libraries.mit.edu/harvard.
