Path steps

1. Check the "Who is Eligible" list on dodmwrlibraries.org. Access depends on the MWR privilege in your DEERS record.
2. Click "Log in" and sign in with your DoD ID number and birthdate (or SSN last 4, last name and birthdate).
3. Open Digital Collections (A-Z) and pick O'Reilly (it uses single sign-on) or another collection.
4. Study at your own pace online. If login fails over MWR privilege, call the DMDC Help Desk at 800-538-9552.

Goal

Self-study for tech skills and IT certification exams (you book and pay for any exam yourself), plus test prep and career research.

Who pays

DoD MWR Libraries provides the collections to eligible patrons. The official site lists no fee to patrons.

Who qualifies

Active duty (all branches incl. Coast Guard), Reserve and National Guard, military retirees (incl. Reserve/Guard retirees), Medal of Honor recipients, veterans with 100% service-connected disabilities, and family members sponsored (ID card holders) by those groups. DoD and Coast Guard civilians overseas; stateside only as resources allow. Veteran status alone does not qualify. Tutor.com has its own eligibility list.

Credential

No credential from the library; prepares you for exams you book separately.
