Faculty/Staff Proxy Card Authorization

Authorization To Use Faculty/Staff ID Card Form

SDSU Faculty and Staff may authorize others (family, research assistants, etc.) to borrow material using their faculty/staff ID card or a proxy card. The authorization allows borrowing privileges for general stack material, periodicals (faculty only), Interlibrary Loan, and Course Reserves. A new form must be completed each semester and returned to the Circulation Desk (Mail Code 8050).

The faculty/staff ID Card or proxy card must be presented along with a picture ID of the person using the faculty/staff card or proxy card each time privileges are requested.

Proxy Cards

When completing the form you have the option of being issued a proxy card. An orange proxy card will be issued in your name for use by your authorized users in place of your SDSU ID card. Only one proxy card will be issued and it is renewable each semester when submiting a new faculty/staff authorization form.

We advise giving the proxy card to your authorized user each time they borrower material for you, rather than letting one authorized user keep the card in their possession. It is important to keep the proxy card so it can be renewed each semester. If the card gets lost please notify the Circulation Desk immediately.

If you need others to checkout material for you this semester, please print the form, complete (please print), sign, and return in person, by fax (594-0742) or by mail (Mail Code 8085) to the Circulation Desk. If you have any questions, please telephone the Circulation Desk at 594-6793 or email the Circulation Desk at circdesk@library.sdsu.edu.
