VALE Faculty Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement


This agreement is made January 2, 2002, by and between the Participating Libraries to provide reciprocal borrowing privileges among and between them. This agreement is designed to enhance the resources available and does not replace the institution's mission in acquiring resources necessary to support its curricula.

POLICIES and PROCEDURES
A. General Guidelines
The Participating Libraries agree to permit borrowing of materials by faculty and staff members at participating institutions. All borrowers will present a signed VALE (Virtual Academic Library Environment) Application Form issued by their home library and provide a picture ID. The "home library" is the institution in which the faculty or staff member is duly employed. The authorized signature on a VALE Application Form indicates that the issuee is a current member in good standing with the home library. The home library keeps a copy of this form, and the orginal signed form goes to the lending library

B. Circulation Policies
All patrons must abide by the lending library's circulation policies and procedures. This includes length of loan period, fines and fees for overdue and lost materials, and other special restrictions such as copyright.

C. Overdues and Fines
The patron is personally resonsible for returning materials, and for paying any fees or charges occurring from the lending library. If an item is not returned, six months after the due date, the lending library will bill the home library for replacement costs.

D. Eligibility
A faculty or staff member at one of the participating colleges or universities may borrow material from any of the other participating institution's libraries. The faculty or staff member completes the VALE Faculty Reciprocal Borrowing Application Form at his or her institution's home library, agreeing to comply with the lending library's policies. The form must be signed by the library director or a designee. After presenting the Application Form to the circulation department at the lending library, the faculty or staff member will be issued guest borrowing privileges and/or a card, which is valid for one academic year with an expiration date of June 30th. | top of page |
