Faculty Borrowing Privileges
The University of Illinois at Chicago Libraries and John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County
Effective January 2001, libraries at the Rush University Medical Center, the University
of Illinois at Chicago, and John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County
have agreed to extend borrowing privileges to
faculty members at all three institutions. As
a result of this agreement, any Rush University
faculty member will be able to borrow books
from the libraries of the University of Illinois
at Chicago (including the Health Sciences Library,
the Main Library, and the Science Library) or
Stroger Hospital for 2 weeks. Other material
will be restricted to in-house only. A more
detailed description of the agreement is available
at our circulation desk.
This program was initiated as part of an
effort to enhance collaboration among Rush
University Medical Center, the University
of Illinois at Chicago, and Stroger Hospital
and follows from discussions held among the
three institutions during the summer.
Before attempting to register at the library of another institution,
please stop by the Rush Library and have a green "Rush Faculty" sticker
applied to your ID. This will enable UIC and Stroger Hospital to identify Rush faculty.
If you are registered with the Library this process should take a
matter of seconds. If you are not registered, we will need to
verify your faculty status. This should take a couple of minutes.
We urge faculty to adhere to the circulation policies of the lending library,
including returning or renewing material by the date due, fines, and
responding to recall requests in a timely fashion. Failure to do so may
jeopardize the continuation of this agreement.
If you have any questions, feel free to
contact Toby Gibson at (312) 942-2279 or via email
at Lib_Ref@rush.edu.
