INFOPASS

INFOPASS Guidelines

• The INFOPASS system operates in the Chicago metropolitan area. It is intended to aid researchers conducting work in libraries where access is restricted.

• Loyola University Chicago Libraries are not generally open to members of the public living in the Chicago Metropolitan area. An INFOPASS may be issued from any Chicago library for research material not owned by the originating library, and held at Loyola's Cudahy or Lewis Libraries. A reference librarian from another library must certify eligibility and identify an appropriate title before issuing the INFOPASS.

• An INFOPASS should not be issued to provide access for studying purposes or for widely held material.

• INFOPASS holders must present the INFOPASS to the Circulation Desk or entrance checkpoint at the source library (Cudahy or Lewis). Hours that an INFOPASS will be accepted: 9:30 – 5:00 pm Monday – Friday.

• The user must bring the completed original INFOPASS form (including the specific titles of materials to be consulted), along with government issued identification, to the Circulation Desk or the entrance checkpoint.

• An INFOPASS form is good at Loyola University for one time visit only.

• No appointment is required at Loyola University Chicago, but Loyola Libraries must be contacted in advance by phone that the needed materials are available and service can be given. Cudahy Library holdings information: (773-508-2654), Lewis Library (312- 915-6631).
