On Site Borrowing Among WALDO Libraries
back to faculty services  

All permanent faculty, staff, and administrators of WALDO full and associate member libraries have on-site borrowing privileges at other WALDO full and associate libraries  in addition to access to material through established interlibrary loan channels.

In order to borrow materials, a patron must present a valid ID card with a current WALDO sticker, both issued by the home library.  WALDO stickers issued by Gill Library are valid for one year from the date of issue and may be renewed for one year at a time at the discretion of the Library.

Guidelines, e.g. loan period, number and type of items loaned, fines levied, etc., will be determined by the lending library. All materials borrowed must be returned directly to the lending library.  It is important to note that all delinquencies are the responsibility of the borrower and, ultimately, the patron’s home library.

Responsibilities for On-Site Borrowers Using WALDO Stickers

1) The WALDO sticker permits on-site access and borrowing of material at full or associate member libraries of WALDO.

2) There is no guarantee that the materials you wish to consult or borrow will be available at the time of your visit.

3) There are no assurances that reference or other services will be available at the time of your visit.

4) It is strongly recommended that you inquire about each individual library’s access and borrowing policies before visiting.
