Non-UD Patrons – Public Borrower
Non-University of Delaware patrons (patrons without a valid UD ID) may use the ERC general collection materials within the ERC without paying the patron fee. Community patrons who want to borrow general collection materials and assistive technology, must purchase a Public Borrower card.
- The Public Borrower card is non-transferable, and borrowing rights will be voided if the card is used by someone other than the registered patron or if borrowing privileges are abused (i.e., excessive overdue fines, etc.)
