Alumni Borrowing Privileges

Based on a reference question emailed to us, a UofR alum wanted to know if she could acquire borrowing privileges and how much that would cost. There is currently no information posted about that on our website. Lori & Les informed me that Debbie Alban is the one who works these privileges out. Privileges include borrowing up to 6 books, looking at periodicals in the library, and guest use of the computers. It does NOT include database access or ILL.

Crafton Hills Students & Electronic Databases

I had two Crafton Hills students working at the reference computers this afternoon who wanted me to log them into the electronic databases. I informed them that the databases are only for our students and faculty (contractual agreements, etc.). They told me that someone working last night logged them in. I apologized several times, explained our agreement with Crafton Hills (to my knowledge), and did not give them access.

I am happy to work with them at the reference desk in those databases that allow walk-in usage. But we need to ask faculty, staff, and student workers at the library to be consistent in our electronic database policies.
