Visiting Scholars and
University of Texas at Austin Staff with Special Appointments
To activate their borrowing privileges, visiting scholars and departmental
staff not appointed by the University present their UT ID and provide to

which they are affiliated showing the term of their stay.
Courtesy and Special Borrowers
All other borrowers obtain a borrowing card at Courtesy Borrower Services
in the Perry-Castañeda Library.
Borrowing Materials
The circulation policies of the University of Texas Libraries are approved by the Vice Provost of the
Libraries. Shorter than normal loan periods for individual items may be
set by the bibliographer for that subject area or by instructors placing
materials on reserve for class use. Special collections and reserve units
may place a limit on the number of items a borrower may check out at any
one time.
To help ensure that material is available to borrowers, most material
checked out may be recalled or held for a requestor when it is returned
to the library. Fines are assessed for the late return of both recalled
and non-recalled items.
