LIS CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT
As a student employee of LIS, I understand that in the course of performing my job responsibilities I will have access to information and will view information that is of a confidential nature. I understand that under no circumstances will I share this information. Furthermore, I will use this information only as is necessary to perform my job and will not use this information for any other reason. I understand that confidentiality includes, but is not limited to: the number and titles of all books a patron has on their record; contact information of patrons; internal library system notes about a patron’s borrower status or fines they owe; titles of books patrons have on hold or have recalled. I understand that a patron only has access to the above information about themselves, not about any other patrons.
I also understand that if it is determined that I have used such information for another purpose, other than that of performing my job, I will be immediately dismissed from my position and that I may be subject to disciplinary action.

Working at Circulation is a privilege. You are hired to work for a semester. If you meet the expectations outlined below, you will be invited back the following semester. Do not assume that once you get this job, you have it for the rest of your time at Middlebury. We know that our expectations are high, but so is the interest in working for Circulation Services.

Please read the employment policies for Circulation here: https://mediawiki.middlebury.edu/wiki/LIS/Student_employees#Policy_Handbook

Proxy Borrower Card Application

TO BE FILLED OUT BY THE FACULTY MEMBER.

Proxy Borrowers are student research assistants, staff, or TA's designated by faculty members to check out library materials on behalf of that faculty member or department/group.

  • Faculty are responsible for all material checked out on this proxy card
  • All materials on this proxy card are subject to recall.
  • All materials checked out on this account must be returned by the end of the proxy contract.  Any materials left on this account will be automatically transferred to the faculty member's account.
  • Proxy cards may be used by many faculty or by a department, but ultimate responsibility for the items rests solely with the faculty member listed below
  • ILL requests must be made through the faculty member's Illiad account, or through a single Proxy Illiad account in the faculty's name (ILL FAQs)
  • There is no option for NExpress borrowing on a proxy account
  • Items requested via the faculty member's personal ILL or NExpress account may NOT be checked out with proxy cards
  • To view checked out items in My MIDCAT, use the primary faculty name and the barcode number located on the proxy card
  • Printing: When a student works for a department and that work requires printing, they can use a department’s generic account for printing so pages won’t be charged to their personal quota. Departments can confirm generic account information with the Technology Helpdesk. If the department does not have a generic account, the creation of one can be requested through the Technology Helpdesk.

I have read and understand the policies listed above.
