Faculty can authorize a research assistant or staff member to check out materials on their behalf by submitting the Faculty Authorization Form. Your request will be processed in 3–5 business days, and you’ll receive an email once it’s complete. The proxy user will then be added to your library account and can use their Iowa One Card to borrow items in your name.
Here are a few important details:
-
All circulation notices will be sent to the faculty member, not the proxy.
-
Faculty are responsible for all items checked out by a proxy.
If you have questions, please contact the Main Library Service Desk at lib-maincirc@uiowa.edu or (319) 335-5299.
