Faculty/Staff Authorization

OSU faculty and staff may authorize an individual to borrow books under the authorizing person's name.  Please note the following terms:

• The authorizing person is responsible for all materials borrowed by the authorized individual.
• A person is authorized for a specific period of time, to be indicated on the form.  We recommend authorization on a quarter to quarter basis.
• More than one person may be authorized, but, it is suggested that this be limited to four persons.
• The library must have this authorization on file for any item to be checked out under another patron's name.
• The authorized person may pick up document delivery items requested by the authorizing faculty member.
