Library users may apply for a card at the library at their home institution. The lending institution will lend materials to ASIN cardholders based on their own local library lending policies. That is to say, an undergraduate student from another institution visiting a library will be lent material on the terms that apply to an undergraduate student at the lending institution. Users may return material they have borrowed to any ASIN library. That library will forward the material to the home library.
Users are responsible for following the local regulations.
Borrowers will be responsible for charges and fines levied against them when these have been incurred in the course of using the ASIN card. The home library will be responsible for ensuring that charges are paid. The ASIN card is only the first step in building the Atlantic Scholarly Information Network. Coordinated licensing of electronic resources allowing all users at all sites remote access. Centralized storage of print materials of low use.
