Visiting Scholar:
Visiting scholars have an official affiliation to a department of °®¶¹´«Ã½. Information about such scholars are provided by the Office of the Provost. Their information is uploaded into the system, and they automatically enjoy faculty unlimited borrowing privileges.
Guest Scholar:
Scholars who do not have an official affiliation to a department of °®¶¹´«Ã½ are regarded as Guest Scholars and may visit the library and have on-site access to services and resources including electronic databases. To qualify for borrowing privileges, complete the Guest Scholar Application Form and present a current photo ID and a valid university ID of your affiliated institution in person at the main Circulation Desk. You will be issued a borrowing card that is valid for 30 days. This patron category has no off-campus access to electronic resources.
