FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions :
How do I check out books in my faculty member’s name?
You will need to obtain a proxy card form from the Law Library Circulation Desk or from Annette Souare in room 266 in the Law Library. In addition, you can obtain a proxy card from the Circulation Desk at Bierce Library or online at http://www3.uakron.edu/ul/forms/proxy.pdf
A proxy card can be used at any of the Circulation Desks on campus by granting you permission to check out materials on the faculty member’s patron record. You should use the proxy card to check out materials because the faculty has a longer check out time than students. In addition, overdue items will show up on faculty member’s patron record and not yours. The Professor you are working for must fill out the proxy card. The proxy card must be returned to Bierce Library. It will take a least a week for the Proxy Card to be processed. After a week, you can call Bierce Library Circulation Department to see if your card is ready for pick up. You must go to Bierce Library in order to pick up the Proxy Card.
What do I do if I lose my proxy card ?
Please contact Bierce Library to obtain a new form to request a new proxy card. At that time, the circulation record will be updated to reflect the new information and the old card will be cancelled.
How do I renew a book ?
During your initial training, you will be shown how to renew books. Books can be renewed through the online catalog or by telephoning circulation. You are responsible for renewing books for all materials checked out from campus and OhioLINK libraries.
