PROCEDURES FOR SETTING UP A PROXY BORROWER
ONLINE DESIGNATED BORROWER FORM (*NEW*)
GUIDELINES
The added borrower feature of the ALEPH circulation system allows for
one or more additional individuals to be given proxy borrowing privileges by an MIT patron or sponsor.
These individuals may check material from the Libraries on behalf of
the patron, with the understanding that any and all items checked out
are the responsibility of the patron who grants the permission to add
these individuals to his or her record.
This service is for use only by MIT faculty and staff and patrons
with disabilities that make access to library stacks difficult. Faculty
or staff members may authorize an MIT staff member or student (or in
special circumstances an individual who is not a member of the MIT community
but who has been given special dispensation) to borrow on their behalf.
Individuals with access disabilities may authorize a fellow student
or staff member to borrow on their behalf.
When the online added borrower form is submitted, the authenticity of the request will be verified by library staff who process the form.
