Alumni Library Privileges
Loyola graduates retain certain university
library privileges. Any former student who has a) completed
a LUC degree or certificate program, including Rome center
attendees, and b) obtained an alumni card* may:
-
Use materials and services at the
university's Cudahy, Lewis, and Health Science library
branches.
-
Charge an unlimited number of books.
-
Keep books for 28 days with an option
to renew for unlimited additional periods, with the
exception of the Health Sciences library where the
lending period is 21 days.
-
Recall books charged by other patrons
and have them available within 2-3 weeks, depending
on the return date. Materials charged by alumni are
also subject to recall.
-
Request " in-process" books before they
have been shelved.
-
Request inter-campus books and articles from the Loyola Libraries (subject to limitations in
peak periods).
-
View videos from the collections within
the libraries. ·
-
Access selected web resources through
the designated Alumni computer terminal located in
the Reference area of each library. (Please note that
due to contractual agreements, we cannot provide access
to these resources from off-campus for Alumni.)
For a variety of reasons, the university cannot provide
alumni with materials owned outside of Loyola (interlibrary
loan). In order to maintain an effective and comfortable
academic environment, the library system reserves the right
to revoke privileges for any patron abusing library regulations
or codes of conduct.
Please contact the circulation desk at any LUC library
for more information. Library staff will confirm alumni
status, collect current address and phone information,
and affix a personal barcode to the back of the alumni
card.
We invite all alumni to take advantage of this service,
provided free of charge by Loyola University Chicago.
*To request an alumni card, visit the Alumni Office
on the 12th Floor of 25 East Pearson at the Water Tower
Campus or register online at http://www.luc.edu/alumni/
