How to check out books?
To check out books, you will need to pick up the collective card at the entrance desk at Science Po (27, rue St. Guillaume). You will need the collective card number (six digits + “AUP” or “AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF PARIS”) + your faculty/student id.
In general, most books are in closed stacks and have to be ordered. You will have to fill out a form and hand it in at the loan desk opposite the entrance desk. You can request online as well by clicking on the 'request button' in the holdings record. The book will be available 45 min later for check out.
Do not forget to fill in the call number and the book details - see the library catalog.
Bring your logon and password as well to access the computers or the wireless at Sciences Po.
How to find online articles (use online resources)?

You can access the databases on the Sciences Po campus.
