As of May 1st, the Drexel Libraries's reciprocal borrowing letter to Penn's libraries will reflect changes in policies between Drexel and Penn.

The new reciprocal borrowing letter issued to students and faculty will reflect a change in the periods of expiration of that letter for the patron. Faculty (full-time) will continue to have an annual expiration date -- one year from the date of issuance of the letter. Part-time faculty, graduate students, and staff who are eligible for Penn borrowing privileges (see Privileges at Area Libraries for Drexel University Community) will get their date of expiration that is in the libraries' Millennium circulation system. (In most cases this is four months, or, in the case of graduating students, a possibly shorter period of time.) This will mean that our patrons will need to get these letters more frequently -- no exceptions will be made.

In addition, at Van Pelt Drexel borrowers will be asked to sign a form that shows that they agree to Penn's stipulations on loan periods, fines, etc.

Access policies for visitors at University of Pennsylvania libraries vary from library to library, and may change during reading and exam periods. Please see their website for further information.
