The USF ID card is important for all new students to acquire whether they come to campus or not, because it has an important number on it which is a patron’s “library empowerment” number. It is a 14 digit number starting with 205 that empowers users to request Interlibrary Loan items, renew items online, and other functions unique to the USF Libraries. That unique number is generated when you first get your ID card. Students need to pickup cards on campus. Instructions are here.
