IIT faculty are eligible to borrow from the university libraries and the CARLI I-Share Libraries.  If the school is part of the CARLI I-Share group, IIT patrons can borrow circulating items with their current IIT ID.  Please use the following link for a listing of CARLI I-Share institutions and links to their Web pages.

Details of the benefits and responsibilities for borrowing Galvin Library materials may be found in the Circulation Policy.

New faculty wishing to register for borrowing privileges may do so at the Galvin Library Circulation Desk. Please have your IIT photo ID with you.

Faculty may sponsor others (such as a student assistant) to borrow materials on their behalf. To request this service, please complete the Faculty Borrowing Proxy application and take or send it to the Circulation Department.

The Galvin Library maintains a membership for faculty with the John Crerar Library of the University of Chicago. The Crerar membership allows IIT faculty to borrow materials from the Crerar and Regenstein libraries located on the University of Chicago campus. The membership also includes browsing privileges in the two libraries for the bearer of a browsing card. Policies and procedures of the host and/or lending institution will pertain. Contact Pattie Piotrowski, Assistant Dean for Public Services, piotrowski@iit.edu or 312.567.3386 to make arrangements to use the card or visit the member libraries.

In order to make our electronic resources available to the IIT community from off-campus locations, the Galvin Library uses EZ-Proxy.  Once logged into EZ-Proxy, users can gain access to Galvin's electronic journals, databases, and E-reserves.  Faculty and staff of the Stuart, ID, and Main campuses will enter their email user name and password to access these resources.  

To log on to EZ-Proxy go to http://ezproxy.gl.iit.edu.  If you have any questions, please contact the Galvin Library Reference Desk via email, IM, or phone.
