Online access for guests
As a guest you have access to online library resources in the University Library. But please note: you have no access from home.
The guest Solis ID
Your guest Solis ID gives you access to the university's Wi-Fi network 'Utrecht University', enabling you to access to the library's online resources and search engines when you are in the library. You can also use all print facilities of Utrecht University. Please bring your own device.
Then, activate your guest Solis ID at the service desk in the library. Do so by showing a valid ID. You will receive a confirmation mail with the request to create a password. After doing so, you can use your guest-Solis-id.
Renewing your guest Solis ID
Your guest Solis ID is valid for one year. Do you want to renew your account? You have two options:
- 45 days before the expiration date you submit a request to renew your guest Solis ID. Please visit this login page and fill in your email address under the heading “Guests’. You will receive an email with a link to the application form.
- Wait until you get an email, just before the expiration date. This email contains a link to request renewal of your guest Solid ID.
In both cases you must have the request approved at the service desk of the library. Don’t forget to bring a valid proof of identity.
Open access resources
When you are not in the library, you have access to open access databases and journals. These resources are available anywhere, anytime.
