Using his/her faculty identification, a faculty member may borrow circulating books for one semester. If, after a four week borrowing period, another borrower requests that material, it must be returned within seven (7) working days after notification from the Library. Faculty may authorize one assistant, for a one semester period, to borrow library materials from most library units for the faculty member's use. This can be done by completing and filing a proxy authorization card for the main loan desk or for the service desk involved. Any borrower intending to leave the local area for more than two weeks should make arrangements to insure prompt return of all library materials charged to him/her if they are recalled. A faculty member who resigns or who will be away from the local area for his/her entire sabbatical leave or other reasons is required to return all library materials before leaving. There is no limit on the number of books a faculty member may borrow at any one time; however, they must be returned or renewed at the end of each semester. It is expected that books needed for continual consultation would be purchased by a faculty member and not provided by the library.
