Graduate Assistants or other authorized users can obtain direct borrowing privileges on the account of the faculty member or administrator for whom they are working on a semester or an academic year basis.

Please provide the following information to Circulation staff at any campus library by emailing univlib@fordham.edu or sending the Circulation Desk written permission on department letterhead:

• Name and email address of faculty member/administrator and the authorized user(s)
• Duration of the authorization, with start and end dates listed

Since library accounts are private, library staff cannot checkout materials on another user's account without written permission!

Faculty members and administrators granting borrowing privileges to their graduate assistants or other authorized users are reminded to check their accounts frequently to ensure accuracy since they are responsible for any materials on their accounts at the end of the academic year.

Visiting, Teaching, and Research Fellows receiving appointments at the University have the equivalent of faculty borrowing privileges during their stay at Fordham.

To have a Fordham library account created, please complete the Visitor Form for Fellows and submit it to the Circulation Desk at your campus library. Please have your Guest Fordham ID card with you (or a valid photo ID), along with your appointment letter on University letterhead.

Note: If the assignment of a study carrel at the Walsh Library is included in your appointment letter, please contact the Administration Office (Room 219) at libraryadministration@fordham.edu to arrange your carrel assignment.

Spouses of current faculty members and administrators of Fordham University are eligible for privileges at the University Libraries.

To have a faculty spouse account created, please complete the Faculty Spouse Form and visit the Circulation or Library Services Desk at any campus library with a valid photo ID. The current Fordham faculty member or administrator must be present at the time of account creation.
