Questions about the items charged on research assistant cards may be directed to the lending library. If the card is lost, the loss must be reported to library privileges immediately. The faculty member is responsible for all materials charged on the card until it is reported lost to library privileges. The lost card will be blocked to prevent fraudulent use. Please note that Interlibrary Loan Service is available only to Northwestern students, faculty, and staff.
Fees are payable at the time application is made.
Checks should be made payable to Northwestern University. Cards are issued to individuals and are not transferable. Information on how to obtain one research assistant's card for each paid card is available. Carrels are assigned to allow books to be charged to a desk within the library for an extended period. Library study carrels are reserved primarily for graduate students and faculty.
