Many faculty ask academic support and student assistants
to do a variety of activities for them at the libraries.
We ask faculty to sign a form authorizing assistants to
do any or all of the following tasks:
Check books out using faculty ID or barcode number
Check out interlibrary loan books using faculty ID or
barcode number
Place materials on reserve
Use the temporary Pioneer One-Card for the microform
reader printer
Check out material from the Listening Room or Audio-Visual
Center
Use the libraries' department copy codes
You may authorize your assistants to do whichever task(s)
you wish; the library will not monitor the activities of
designated academic support or student assistants. We will
add a note to the patron record of an authorized borrower
stating that he or she has library privileges for you; we
will verify it each time the authorized borrower does library
tasks for you.
**Please note: We will not give your Pioneer One-Card
number to anyone - you will need to provide this number
to your authorized borrower. We suggest that you write your
number down on a separate sheet of paper and that you not
give your Pioneer One-Card to your authorized borrower.
Please do not ask your authorized borrowers to
check library materials out for you using their own Pioneer
One-Cards. At the end of each semester, each library patron
is considered to be responsible for all library materials
listed on his or her patron record. Fines will not be waived
for overdue library materials that were checked out for
other patrons.
If you have questions please contact Sherry Shults (x3350
or shults@grinnell.edu).
For questions about checking out material from the Listening
Room or Audio-Visual Center please contact Randye Jones
(x3365 or jonesran@grinnell.edu).
