Academic Support and student assistants perform a variety of Libraries-related tasks for faculty. We offer two levels of authorization for these activities:
1. Authorized Assistants
Authorized assistants may do the following:
- Check out materials
- Place materials on reserve for courses
- Pick up ILL items at circulation
Upon receipt of a signed authorization form, we will add a note to the patron record of an authorized borrower stating that he or she has library privileges for you; we will verify it each time the authorized borrower does library tasks for you. At the end of each semester, each library patron is considered to be responsible for all library materials listed their patron record. Fines will not be waived for overdue library materials that were checked out for other patrons.

2. Proxy Electronic Access Account
Faculty can authorize creation of a proxy electronic account and password, which you can share with your assistants. Your assistants can log into your library account with this username and password. This will allow access only to your library account, not your email, Pioneer Web account, or any other college accounts. Activities that can be completed include:
- Requesting ILL items in the name of the faculty member*
- Renewing books online for the faculty member
- Viewing the items the faculty member has checked out
