Can a student/TA check out materials for a professor? How do I setup a proxy account?

Answer

Faculty may arrange for a student (such as a teaching assistant) to borrow books and library materials on their behalf. Both the faculty member and student must come to the Help & Checkout Desk in the library to set up a proxy account.

What is a proxy account?

Proxy borrowing privileges enable the student to check out items using their own card, but the items will appear on a separate "proxy" account.  There is no charge for this service.
