Proxy Card Holders

Faculty and staff have the option of designating one or more proxy borrowers to their account. The proxy borrower status allows anyone to visit Mann and check out materials to the account of the sponsoring faculty or staff member. The sponsoring faculty or staff member is fully responsible for the items charged on their behalf. They will receive all overdue and recall notices associated with any items checked out to their account via the proxy.

To authorize a proxy user, the hosting faculty or staff must send an e-mail to mann_circ@cornell.edu.

To assign a Cornell student (affiliate) as a proxy user, the faculty or staff member must e-mail the following information:

• Faculty/staff member’s name
• Faculty/Staff member’s ID #
• Name of proxy user
• ID# of proxy user
• Expiration of proxy status (up to 1 year)

To assign a non-Cornell person (non-affiliate) as a proxy, the faculty or staff member must e-mail the following information:

• Faculty/staff member’s name
• Faculty/Staff member’s ID #
• Name of proxy user
• Address and phone number of proxy user
• Expiration of proxy status (up to 1 year)
