Visiting other Alliance libraries

Authorized patrons (students, faculty, and staff of the member institutions) can go directly to one of the member libraries and check out eligible items in person. As a Visiting Patron at another Alliance member library you are responsible for having the information and identification required for checking out materials at that library; each library has different requirements for checking out materials. The library you will be visiting cannot directly access your patron record (at your home institution), and may not be able to assist you individually. This table includes information to help you reach staff, or answers to questions, at your home institution, if you encounter problems while trying to checkout materials at other libraries.
