Proxy for Faculty Checkouts

A professor may ask you as the Research Assistant to checkout library books on his or her library account. In order to do so, the professor must first submit a Proxy Authorization Form to the library so that you are free to checkout books on his or her behalf. 

The Proxy Authorization Form process:

  • Faculty may apply to have a proxy sign material out for them.  
  • Proxies must be affiliated with AUS e.g. AUS staff or currently enrolled students.
  • To assign a proxy, return the completed proxy authorization form to the library's Circulation/Reserves Desk located on the ground floor. 
  • At the top of this page, you can download the attached file: Proxy Form
