LSU Libraries Reciprocal Borrowing Cardholder Agreement

The LSU Libraries have reciprocal borrowing agreements with most of the academic libraries in Louisiana and many major research libraries throughout the United States. The card issued to you is valid for one semester and may be used at any of the participating reciprocating libraries. When used at a participating library, the policies, procedures, and restrictions of the lending library must be followed; loan periods, fines/lost book costs, and other policies may vary from those of the LSU Libraries.

Upon receipt of this card the cardholder agrees to:

Follow the borrowing policies and procedures of the lending library;
Meet due dates (including Recalls) as set by the lending library;
Be responsible for any fines and fees incurred to the lending library through failure to meet due dates and/or to return any borrowed materials

* Explanation of Reciprocity

The LALINC Reciprocal Borrowing Card is based on the level the home library is willing to reciprocate with any other participating LALINC library. Levels range from 1-4 with 1 (one) as the most restricted reciprocity. Each library selects a level at which they will reciprocate. The lowest common level of reciprocity between any two libraries is the level at which the libraries will reciprocate (Example: Library A is Level 2 and Library B is Level 3; these libraries would reciprocate at Level 2.) Check with the home library for the reciprocity level of other libraries.

Distance Education Exception

Any student, regardless of classification, enrolled in a Distance Education class taught at another location/institution may be extended reciprocal privileges.

As a patron with an "acceptable circulation status," I am applying for direct borrowing privileges at universities in the LALINC program. I will abide by the lending policies of those universities and will be responsible for materials I borrow.
