|  As
of January 2002, the college and university libraries in the VALE consortium
agreed to extend reciprocal borrowing privileges to their respective full-time
faculty, and staff. Effective July, 2004, a number of VALE libraries have
agreed to extend reciprocal borrowing privileges to each other's graduate
students.
Borrowing from participating VALE libraries
Consult the lists of VALE Reciprocal Borrowing Participating Libraries
for Faculty and
Staff or for Graduate
Students to determine if you qualify for onsite borrowing privileges
at the library you are interested in visiting.
-
Ask circulation staff at Jennings Library for
a VALE Reciprocal Borrowing Application Form and fill it out. If you
are applying for privileges at more than one library, you must fill
out an individual form for each library. Circulation staff at Jennings
Library will verify your standing and sign the form.
-
Present the signed application form along with
a photo ID at the participating library’s circulation desk.
You will be issued borrowing privileges and/or a guest borrower card.
Privileges are for one academic year and expire June 30th.
-
To renew your borrowing privileges, you must present
a new application form signed by a circulation staff member of the
Jennings Library.
-
You will be responsible for complying with the
lending library’s circulation policies, including loan periods,
overdue fines, recalls, all replacement and processing fees, and
for returning all borrowed items directly to the lending library.
