Faculty members and administrators may designate a Proxy Patron to check out materials on their behalf. Proxy Patrons must be specified as such in the Library database before they attempt to act as proxy.

DESIGNATE A PROXY

A Proxy Patron should be a trusted staff member or student worker. Faculty members and administrators may select more than one Proxy Patron, and/or a Proxy Patron may serve several faculty members/administrators (i.e., department secretary, lab assistant, etc.).

To designate a Proxy:

Email the Circulation Manager – lib_circ@dbu.edu
Include full name and DBU ID# for faculty member(s)/administrator(s) to be represented.
Include full name and DBU ID# for person designated as proxy.
Proxy status will expire at the end of each term, but may be renewed upon request.

PROXY CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE

Proxy must bring his/her own current DBU ID card to the Library.
Proxy retrieves the item(s) to be checked out.
Upon presentation of ID, the Library’s computer system will notify the circulation worker of the Proxy’s status.
The Proxy will be asked to identify the faculty member or administrator for whom he/she is acting as proxy.
The item will be checked out in the faculty member ’s name.
If the item is for the Proxy’s personal use, then the transaction will occur as normal.
