The MavExpress ID Card is the photo ID card issued to you when you become a member of the UT Arlington Faculty, Staff, or Student communities. This ID card has many uses on campus. It also serves as your library card.

Present your MavExpress ID Card when you want to check out UT Arlington materials or pick up interlibrary loan materials from the UT Arlington Library.

You can get your MavExpress ID Card from the MavExpress Office on the main level of the University Center.

As a Guest Borrower, you are given a laminated card when your library borrowing privileges are set up. This card has an ID number encoded on it, and your name is typed on the front. The Guest Card serves as your library card if you are a Guest Borrower.

Present your Guest Card along with a photo ID card when you want to check out materials from the UT Arlington Library.

People with UT Arlington Library Cards (as defined above) can authorize others to check out library materials for them. If you authorize others to check out materials for you, we will give you a laminated Authorization Card to give to your authorized user. This Authorization Card is encoded to link to your library account and your name and the name of your authorized user are typed on the front.

You are responsible for all materials checked out on an Authorization Card issued in your name. You are also responsible for any overdue fines, damage, or replacement costs for all materials checked out on an Authorization Card issued in your name.

Arrange for an Authorization Card at the Central Library Circulation Desk or contact us for more information. Or submit the online authorization form. Your authorized user will present the Authorization Card and a photo ID card when checking out materials for you.

It is very important to present your Library Card (and photo ID, if applicable) when checking out materials from the UT Arlington Library, or when making enquiries about your library records. This is for your protection, so that materials aren't checked out to you without your consent and authorization, and so that your library records can remain confidential.

If your MavExpress ID or other library card has been lost or stolen, inform the Central Library Circulation Desk immediately so that we can help prevent the unauthorized use of your card.

If you have come to the Library to check out materials and have inadvertently forgotten to bring your MavExpress ID or other library card with you, we would be happy to hold your items for 24 hours so that you have time to retrieve your MavExpress ID.
