University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Faculty, Staff, and Students must present their valid UNC One Card in order to borrow materials from Davis Library.

All other patrons wishing to check out materials from any UNC Academic Affairs Library should apply for a Borrower's card at the Davis Circulation Department.

If you have any questions about Borrower's Cards, please contact Dani Volker.

Requirements for obtaining a Borrower's Card:

• A North Carolina driver's license or a valid picture ID along with a document containing a current N.C. address
• Applicants must be age 14 or older
• Applicants younger than 18 must submit a completed parental consent form
• A completed Borrower's application
• A fee of $25.00

There is a $25.00 annual renewal fee, and a $5.00 fee for replacing lost cards.

Current members of the General Alumni Association and Friends of the Library may obtain a borrower's card at no charge by presenting proof of their status upon application.

Materials borrowed from Davis Library have a loan period that is determined by the patron's borrower status. These loan periods may be extended by renewing the materials online or in person. Click here to learn more about loan policies and renewals.

As a courtesy, notices and receipts are given or sent to patrons:

• to inform them of loan period changes,
• to inform them that materials are overdue, and
• as a receipt of items returned or fines and fees paid.

Faculty members, currently enrolled students, administration officials, and members of the University staff may use their Campus ID Card to borrow books from TRLN and UNC System institution libraries. Your Campus ID Card is your library card at institution libraries. You may need to present your Campus ID Card to the main library at each campus for registration purposes before using other libraries on that campus. Familiarize yourself with the policies and restrictions of the library from which you borrow.

See a list of all participating institutions.

To promote and facilitate scholarly research and communication among members of their faculties, the university research libraries (members of the Association of Research Libraries) of OCLC have established a program to provide broader access to scholarly materials. Under the aegis of the Research Libraries Advisory Committee to OCLC (RLAC), the libraries have developed an agreement to extend library privileges to faculty members of other research universities that are ARL members.

The program generally applies to the faculty based on the main campus of the participating institution. The home institution determines who is eligible for a Reciprocal Faculty Borrowing Program card. The lending library determines whether the card will be accepted for on-site use/and or borrowing.

See a list of all participating institutions.

Privileges vary from institution to institution. Faculty members intending to visit a participating library should ask their home libraries to check online in the OCLC Name-Address Directory for the limitations and relevent policies and practices of the prospective lending library.

A faculty member from an institution participating in the Reciprocal Faculty Borrowing Program may request a Reciprocal Faculty Borrowing Program card from their home library. To borrow materials, the visiting faculty member must present the Reciprocal Faculty Borrowing Program card and any other identification the lending library requires at the main campus library of any participating institution.

Please note that this is a program of privileges. At its discretion, a participating institution may suspend the privileges of its own faculty members or of the faculty members of another participating institution.
