ARE Resource Library
Black Spectacles Group Membership
AIA Honolulu is excited to offer members access to Black Spectacles, an NCARB-approved online learning platform to help you succeed on the ARE 5.0 exam.
Access Includes:
✔ Video Lectures & Slides
✔ Practice Exams & Quizzes
✔ Customizable Flashcards
Use of Black Spectacles is free for AIA Honolulu Assoc. AIA members.
To participate, email AIA Honolulu to receive login details.
2 premium seats are available with our membership, so two members may be logged in at the same time but will automatically be signed out after 30 minutes of inactivity.
Please note if more than two members are logged in at the same time, you may see a message saying the service is not available. This simply means both seats are currently in use. You can try again later when a seat becomes available.
ARE Resource Library Rates, Rules & Available Materials
Visit us at the Center for Architecture Monday – Friday from 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM, or email for alternate hours.
Here you can browse our ARE Resource Library and borrow study materials, one division at a time, for a 4-week consecutive period.
| 4 Weeks | $0 | $40 |
| +2 Weeks Renewal | $0 | $20 |
Check out requests will be processed on a first come, first served basis.
A one-time, 2-week extension can be granted permitted no other member has requested the material. To request an extension, you must contact AIA Honolulu before the loan due date.
If the materials you request are currently checked out, you can be placed on a waitlist to be notified as soon as they are available.
Materials must be returned in good condition (no personal annotations, please). If returned in a condition deemed unsatisfactory, you will be invoiced for the full replacement cost.
A $5 per day late fee will be charged, payable prior to the next loan. We reserve the right to suspend any loaning privileges for lateness, un-returned, and/or damaged books.
