The MIT Libraries have an agreement with Harvard University’s Countway Library of Medicine that allows graduate students, research staff, and faculty to apply for borrowing privileges, and undergraduate students to apply for room use only.

You can apply for privileges using our online form.

Applicants will receive a Countway access card via email no later than 5 pm the next business day. If you need same day service, or are planning to come to the library anyway, you can still apply for privileges at the Hayden Reference Desk, M-F, 10 am – 5 pm.

This application only covers privileges at Harvard’s Countway Library of Medicine. See full details about the MIT’s arrangements with Harvard Libraries.
