Certain members of the community are eligible for free Library circulation privileges. These groups include UAH alumni, Active Duty military, NASA employees, Faulkner University students, and students at local colleges/universities which have reciprocal agreements with Salmon Library. In most cases, these privileges allow you to check out up to 5 items at a time for a period of 28 days. Other UAH visitors who do not fall into any of the categories described above may obtain circulation privileges for a set, yearly usage fee of $50.00.

The Salmon Library invites all members of the community and general public to use our facilities. Internet access computer terminals are available in our electronic library wing which opened in 2001. Printing from these terminals is 10¢/page for black & white or $1.00/page for color. Print cards are accepted only, and are available at both the Circulation and Reference desks. While at the library, visitors may access content from any of our premium Online Databases, or may use the Super Search feature available on the Library homepage to search up to 15 databases simultaneously. Due to licensing issues, off-campus use of our electronic resources is restricted to current UAH students, faculty, and staff.
The Alabama Virtual Library provides all citizens of Alabama with online access to a variety of information resources. All UAH visitors who reside in the state of Alabama may access AVL databases free of charge. To access AVL from home, visit your local public library to request a remote access card. Please see the list of AVL Database Descriptions for more information.
The Salmon Library encourages all UAH visitors to make use of our Reference Services. Please feel free to stop by the reference desk during our regular hours.
