Library Barcode

A Healey Library barcode is your access key to the library's rich assortment of resources.

Note: your Healey Library barcode is different from your student ID or UMS number.

How do I get a library barcode?

  • On-campus students, faculty, and staff should go to the Circulation Desk with their UMass Boston I.D. card. Library staff will place a unique barcode sticker on the reverse of the ID card. 
  • Online students or students taking classes off-campus, may telephone theCirculation Desk at 617-287-5900 to be assigned a barcode over the phone. They may also email library.circulation@umb.edu. Please be sure to include your first and last name, and your UMS number so we can properly identify you in our system. A barcode number will be e-mailed to you. All online and off-campus classes will be verified by the circulation staff.
