"Faculty Reciprocal Borrowing Program Expanded"


The Reciprocal Faculty Borrowing Privileges program has 
recently been expanded to include over 150 academic and 
research libraries in the United States and Canada.  From their 
home libraries, faculty members obtain identification cards 
that speed the process of obtaining library privileges at 
participating institutions.  The program started about five 
years ago among ARL member institutions that use the OCLC 
information network for cataloging and interlibrary loan 
operations.  This year an invitation to participate in the 
program was extended to non-ARL libraries and, as a result of 
their response, the program has more than doubled in size.  
This program should be especially helpful to faculty members 
who are going to be on leave and anticipate needing access to a 
research library while they are away.

Specific library privileges extended to visiting faculty may 
vary from institution to institution.  Faculty who are 
interested in learning more about this program should inquire 
at the main circulation desk in the D. H. Hill Library, ext. 
5-3364.
