Proxy Authorization

UIUC faculty members, graduate students, and other library borrowers with extenuating circumstances may authorize another library borrower to charge out Library materials for them. This authorization is usually extended to students who are assisting a faculty member or a graduate student in his or her research, but a spouse, staff member, etc. can be designated as a proxy patron. Also, a library borrower can designate more than one proxy. Library materials will receive faculty or graduate loan periods. The length of the authorization is specified for up to one year. The individual is responsible for all library materials charged to their account, including those materials that his or her proxy checked out.

To obtain authorization, the faculty member or graduate student must complete and sign a "Proxy Form" available in the Main Circulation Office, Room 203 Main Library. The application form requires both the faculty or graduate student's and proxy's identification numbers and signatures.

The patron authorized to check out library materials for another individual must present his/her I-card or courtesy card at the desk and tell the staff member that he/she is checking out materials for another library borrower. A special proxy card will no longer be issued.
