How do I Borrow a Book from the Dana Health Sciences Library?
I am a UVM Alumn:
- Alumni Borrowers' cards are available to all graduates of the University of Vermont. Cards may be obtained at the CATcard Office in Billings Library. The CATcard Offices charges $5 for processing the card.
Borrowing Policy - UVM Libraries is unable to borrow books through Interlibrary Loan for UVM Alumni. Please contact your local public library for Interlibrary Loan services.
I am a member of the Vermont Consortium of Academic Libraries Faculty (VCAL Faculty):
- Faculty at Vermont Consortium of Academic Libraries (VCAL) member institutions are eligible to receive borrowing privileges at the University of Vermont Dana Health Sciences Library (phone: 802-656-2200 or email: [email protected] with questions).
Borrowing Privileges - UVM Libraries is unable to borrow books through Interlibrary Loan for VCAL Faculty. Please contact your own institution's library for Interlibrary Loan services.
I have no affiliation:
- The Library issues Guest Borrower Cards to members of the general public who complete an application form at the Main Desk and provide a personal ID. Vermont residents presenting a valid Guest Borrower card may then borrow materials in accordance with library borrowing policies.
- The Dana Health Sciences Library is unable to extend borrowing privileges to students enrolled at other colleges even if they are Vermont residents.
- Members of the general community who do not have a Guest Borrower card from UVM may wish to contact their local public library for assistance with interlibrary loans.
