Your Graduate Assistants
GAs can check out materials for their faculty. To enable this, the GA will need to
visit the library circulation desk with the faculty member's 不良研究所 ID card and a letter
with the faculty member's signature which identifies the GA who is authorized to check
out materials. The letter will be kept on file at circulation. This procedure will
need to be repeated if/when the professor changes GAs. GAs may also pick up Interlibrary
Loan materials, and can be added as "authorized users" on the professor's ILL account.
To learn more about ILL, visit the ILL page.
