You are responsible for materials checked out with your card. Q: Can I check out materials for other people on my card?Ī: Yes, but we do not recommend it. Students without prior authorization will not be allowed to check out materials on behalf of faculty. If this will be an ongoing arrangement, please notify us in writing (paper or e-mail) so that we can put this information on file. Please send your ID with the student to verify authorization for each transaction. We ask that you notify the Circulation Supervisor for print or AV materials if a particular student will be checking out items for you. Q: Can CIM faculty members have a student assistant check out materials on their behalf?Ī: Yes. We require ID cards as a means of deterring identify theft. We have new staff and new student staff, and several hundred library users. Even if you have worked at CIM for years, it does not necessarily mean that the people working at the Circulation or Media desks will know you. Q: Why is an ID necessary?Ī: We require IDs to ensure that anything checked out on your patron record was authorized by you. Faculty and staff may also use ID cards issued by HR or Access Services. Barcoded cards are given at the library circulation desk for faculty, staff, preparatory students, special borrowers and alumni. ID Cards in the Library Q: What do I need to check out library materials or use the Media LAB?Ī: Conservatory students need a CIM ID.

Please use the CWRU Account Number Look Up Tool or inquire at the Circulation Desk if you don't know your Account Number or Password. Limited Library Access Renewals Q: How can I renew items online?Ī: Since CIM has a semester loan policy, we typically do not allow people to renew our Library items online. Instead, items must be checked in and checked out again. OhioLINK items and items borrowed from Case Libraries however, may be renewed online via My Library Account (visitor option).
