MRLT Michigan Research Libraries Triangle

http://www.lib.wayne.edu/services/borrowing_requesting/mrlt.php

Graduate students from the three MRLT institutions (Wayne State University, University of Michigan, and Michigan State University) can receive guest borrowing privileges at any of the three universities.
· Eligibility: You must be a currently enrolled graduate student in good standing with your own library. To receive a library card from one of the two other institutions WSU graduate students need to present a OneCard, another form of picture ID, and a form that verifies your status as a currently enrolled as a graduate student. Any of the University Libraries Services Desks will be able to provide you with the completed form once we verify your status.
· Books must be returned by you directly to the institution from which they were borrowed.
· Books charged by you are subject to recall if requested by another borrower.
· The cards will be good for the current term. In order to renew another verification form must be presented.
· Failure to follow the guest borrowing policies and procedures may result in termination of privileges.
· Libraries participating in the program include: MSU, UofM and WSU.

NOTE: Privileges granted are GUEST borrowing privileges, and therefore, the patron gets books from MSU for 3 weeks, UofM Ann Arbor for 4 weeks. The reason that the trip for this student was unnecessary is that the 3 week privilege is exactly what users get who are borrowing through MeL. Therefore, encourage grad students who want to borrow from UofM to use MRLT, but if they want to borrow from MSU, and would prefer not to go out to East Lansing, just request tell them to request books through MeL.

UGL Reserves Video Usage

UGL permanent reserves videos are so designated because they are very valuable, or hard to replace or both, so they are not kept on the open shelves. They do circulate like other videos, (3 days with a possibility of renewal) and faculty can ask for an extension of up to 10 days if they are going to be using it for classroom use.
