LOUIS Reciprocal Borrowing Card Program
-
LOUIS Reciprocal Borrowing Cards offer a way for active students, faculty and staff of Louisiana colleges and universities to borrow materials from other academic libraries within the state other than their own.
If you are a currently enrolled LSUS student, or an active LSUS faculty or staff member, and you are in good standing with the Library, you may go to the Library Circulation Desk and request a LOUIS Reciprocal Borrowing card. You may then present your card to another Louisiana academic library and request borrowing privileges.
Please note that possession of a LOUIS Reciprocal Borrowing card does not guarantee borrowing privileges from all Louisiana academic libraries. Policies differ from library to library, and the lending library has the option to honor the LOUIS card based upon the status (undergraduate, graduate, faculty or staff) of the cardholder.
The level of reciprocity varies from school to school as there are small majority of institutions that do not lend to undergraduates. Please consult the Circulation Desk for this information.
