Reciprocal
Faculty Borrowing Program
a program of the Research Libraries Advisory Committee
to OCLC
Faculty responsibilities:
Ask CLW Circulation Staff for relevant information about the institution
they plan to visit.
Present the proper identification
when requesting a card from CLW staff.
Observe the regulations of
the lending library.
Return borrowed materials on
or before the due date, in person or by mail. Return recalled materials
immediately, in person or by express mail.
Pay any fines or other charges incurred due to late return of materials or damage to materials.
To promote
and facilitate scholarly research and communication among members of their
respective faculties, the Curtis Laws Wilson library is among the OCLC
member research libraries which have established a program to provide
greater access to scholarly materials. The home institution determines
who is eligible for a Reciprocal Faculty Borrowing Program card. The lending
library determines whether the card will be accepted for on-site use and/or
borrowing.
Materials may be used on the premises of the owning library or may be
borrowed, depending on the policies of the lending library. Privileges
vary from institution to institution, and are not set or affected by the
privileges allowed by UMR. Faculty members may call the Circulation Desk
at 341-4008, or the Reference Desk at 341-4007 for more information about
specific member institutions.
Library Circulation Staff will need to see your university ID and know
the duration of your stay in the area of the institution you wish to visit
in order to issue a Reciprocal Faculty Borrowing Program card.
Please note that this is a program of privileges. At its discretion,
a participating institution may suspend the privileges of its own faculty
members, or of the faculty members of another participating institution.
