Champlain faculty members and students can now borrow books from the circulating collection of UVM's Bailey-Howe library using their valid Champlain ID card.   This ability to borrow books directly from a research university library, without the hassle of additional paperwork, promises to be a great benefit for both faculty members and students. 

This agreement applies to all full-time undergraduate students, all permanent faculty and staff members, and all graduate students of Champlain College.

The agreement allows up to ten books to be borrowed at one time, with a circulation period of 28 days. This agreement is very generous, but by necessity includes some limitations.  For example, the agreement covers volumes in the library's main collection and the Library Annex, but it does not include reference books, Special Collections, Dana Medical Library, or other specialized resources, nor can books borrowed from UVM be put on course reserve here.

Please note that if you borrow books from UVM under this agreement, you will be subject to UVM circulation policies, including overdue fines and replacement fees.  Also, please be aware that books you borrow from UVM are for your personal use; they cannot be placed on course reserve at Champlain.

To borrow books from UVM, simply present your valid Champlain ID card at the Bailey-Howe circulation desk, and explain that you would like to borrow books through the UVM/Champlain reciprocal agreement.  You can search the UVM catalog online at http://voyager.uvm.edu/.  Champlain librarians will also be happy to help you identify resources within UVM's collection.

Because this is a reciprocal borrowing agreement, UVM faculty members and students can now borrow books from our library as well.  Although we don't expect an influx of UVM borrowers, please keep in mind that our book collection will become more heavily used.  If you plan to put books from our collection on reserve for your courses, remember to get your requests in early.
