Library Card, Logos
Research Assistant library privileges are available to eligible library users who are conducting research for a Harvard University teaching faculty member, or who may need to borrow books on behalf of a Harvard University teaching faculty member.
Rules and Limitations:
- The Research Assistant Borrowing Privileges Card is valid at most Harvard University libraries.
- These privileges are meant exclusively for individuals performing work on behalf of a faculty member and are not for personal use.
- A maximum of three individuals are eligible to be assigned as Research Assistant to a faculty member at one time.
- The Research Assistant card acts as a proxy for the faculty member, therefore loan periods mirror those that would be extended to the faculty member.
- The faculty member is responsible for all recall, recall fines, and any lost books charged by the proxy Research Assistant.
- Loan periods for borrowing, renewals, overdue fines, use of reserves, and other regulations are set by the individual libraries where this card is valid.

The Center for Genomic Medicine (CGM) comprises one of the largest and most vibrant hubs of genomic medicine research in the world. The CGM includes 46 faculty collaborating to define the ‘genomic medicine cycle’ – which envisages a genomics community seeking to advance research from basic genomics research to ultimately using genome information for diagnostics and targeted therapeutics. All of our investigators are faculty at Harvard Medical School, and many members of our community are also investigators at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT.
