Faculty may request borrowing privileges for print material for individuals in the following categories. The faculty member takes full responsibility for any library transactions conducted by the person being sponsored including the payment for any outstanding fine/fees associated when the account expires. Revoking privileges may be requested by the faculty member if the person leaves prior to expiration of the account. These are individual accounts and only the sponsored borrower has access to the account.
The Sponsored Borrower card does not provide remote access to electronic resources at the Libraries, nor does it give you access to all services and resources at the Libraries.
