Faculty Proxy Card Program

The Faculty Proxy Program entitles a research assistant to use a faculty member's account, enabling faculty to allow their assistants to conduct research in their name at the library.

All material checked out by proxy is actually checked out on the faculty member's account, placing the responsibility for the materials, including fines accrued, with the faculty member. Research assistants must actively be AU student, staff, or faculty to qualify.

Faculty members may authorize a proxy for a given semester up to a full academic year by completing a Faculty Proxy Authorization Form and turning it in to the circulation desk. After forms are signed by Faculty they may be submitted by the assistant.

To download a copy of the Authorization Form in .pdf format, click here. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or higher in order to read it.

Faculty may maintain two active proxies per semester.
