MLIR Library Memberships

The McGill Institute for Learning in Retirement (MILR) - students are eligible for library memberships. We would like to make it easier for all of them by letting them obtain these memberships more of our locations (currently they have been restricted to the Humanities & Social Sciences Membership Desk for these.)

Attached is information about the process and a picture of the MILR ID that they have to present in order to obtain a membership.

If you have any questions about this, please let me know or anyone else on the Loans Advisory Committee (Louis Robertson, Chair; Sandra Emery, Peter Martinek, Brian McMillan, Amin Merani, Olga Wiseman.)

Thanks,
Joseph Hafner

McGill Institute for Learning in Retirement (MILR)

The McGill Institute for Learning in Retirement (MILR) gives its students a McGill University ID number which entitles them to library borrowing privileges and access to the internet.
• MILR students must go to the computer centre on the 1st floor of Burnside Hall with their MILR Member’s Card to register for Internet access which allows them to use the McGill server for up to 13 hours per month.
For a McGill Library Membership card, students can apply at any Loans Desk at any McGill Library (except for Birks Reading Room, Edward Rosenthall Mathematics and Statistics Library, Islamic Studies Library, and Walter Hitschfeld Geographic Information Centre). They need to present a valid MILR ID card and a photo ID card with name and address. MILR ID cards are valid for one term and show the expiry date.

In Aleph when setting up a membership account for MILR students use :
• Patron status of 01 – undergraduate borrowing privileges
• Patron type of LR – MILR.
