The Oakland University Kresge Library has made reciprocal borrowing arrangements with the following libraries so that Oakland students, staff, and faculty may borrow materials directly from them. There are other libraries which OU students, staff, and faculty may check out materials directly from, but you will need to stop by the Oakland University Kresge Library Reference Desk to pick up an InfoPass to use them. Stop by or call the Reference Desk at (248) 370-4426 for more information on acquiring and using an InfoPass. Materials borrowed MUST be returned directly to the lending library. If you fail to return materials borrowed from these libraries, your library privileges will be blocked, and a hold will be placed on your academic records at Oakland University. In addition to these, many public and academic libraries
in the state participate in the Michicard program,
which allows you to check out book (and sometimes,
other
materials) from any participating library, as long
as your home library is also a participant. Check the list
of participating Michicard libraries to see if
your local public library participates. If so, stop
by and ask for your
Michicard or Michicard sticker, and then take that
with you to any other participating library to check
out materials (for free). For more information, see
the michigan.gov site about the Michicard
Program (list of particpating Michicard Libraries). |
