InfoPass (who can complete one?)

Monique Andrews, April 7, 2008
Having worked at Marygrove and here at WSU I am very familiar with the intent of the Infopass and its origins. I think it is fine for Circulation to sign the form. This SEMLOL borrowing form predates many more technologically advanced reciprocal borrowing arrangements. The intent is that a SEMLOL library is confirming that they do not have the materials needed by the student and that they are enrolled (show ID, whatever). So the form is filled out from the student’s home library. I mean really how do we know who is filling out the form at different libraries that present it to us.

I would like to add that if a student from a SEMLOL comes in without a form, I have a called their library and asked someone to fax one over. I have also been asked to do the same for our students.
