HUID Access & Features
The extraordinary Harvard University Library resources and serves are an important research tool for Harvard's current students who hold Harvard IDs and PINs. The site also provides practical information on each of the more than 70 libraries that form the Harvard system.
The Harvard i-lab is the central component of the Harvard Innovation Labs, a cross-disciplinary ecosystem for the Harvard community to explore innovation and entrepreneurship. It consists of the i-lab for current Harvard students and the Life Lab, a wet lab for student- and faculty-led life science ventures. The i-lab provides resources including advising and supportive community to help Harvard students move their startup ideas forward. The i-lab is currently all-virtual until further notice.
With thanks to the leadership team at the iLab, part-time students have been granted provisional access to all iLab offerings for the 2020-2021 Academic Year.
