Privileges
With a current CSUSM ID faculty and administrators are allowed the following:
Faculty and administrators are responsible for the timely return of library materials. Materials not renewed or returned by the due date are overdue. A hold will be placed on the librar record of anyone who has overdue materials and billed 21 days after due date. Library privileges will be suspended until the material is returned.
Be advised that material checked out in this manner will be on the faculty member's / administrator's record. Ultimate responsibility for the material belongs to the faculty member/administrator. Any overdue notices, bills or suspension of privileges will appear on the faculty member's/administrator's record. It is important that your teaching assistants/support staff do not abuse this privilege and check out their materials under the Administator's name.
Faculty and administrators may grant their teaching assistants or support staff permission to check out materials in their name. A written consent form (PDF, 53K) must be filled out each semester prior to these checkouts being allowed. ID will be required at each checkout to verify that the teaching assistant or support staff is the one allowed this privilege.
