Guest Policies & Procedures

Community Members who are not Registered Borrowers

These users must show identification and sign in for admission to the building. The library provides in-building access to books, desk-top computers, wifi, printing, periodicals and research databases, but cannot extend interlibrary loan services or remote database access to the general public.

Alumni

Rollins alumni must register for a Community Borrower card (free for the first year, $25 thereafter).

Alumni are invited to use library facilities for research purposes; however, they cannot take advantage of reciprocal agreements. The library provides borrowing privileges for books and in-building access to desk-top computers, wifi, printing, periodicals and research databases, but cannot extend interlibrary loan services or remote database access to alumni.

Reciprocal Borrowers

To qualify as reciprocal borrowers, users with borrowing cards from the Winter Park Library and UCF must register for Rollins borrowing privileges with verification that they are in good standing with their home library. This registration must be renewed annually according to the agreed schedule with the home library.

Reciprocal users are invited to use library facilities for research purposes. They can borrow books and access periodicals, desk-top computers, wifi, printing and most research databases within the building, but do not have access to our interlibrary loan services, remote database access, or further reciprocal agreements.

Registered Community Borrowers

These users must purchase a Community Borrower card ($25 for the first year, $50 thereafter).

Registered community users are entitled to the same privileges as alumni: they are invited to use library facilities for research purposes. However, they cannot take advantage of reciprocal agreements. The library provides borrowing privileges for books and in-building access to desk-top computers, wifi, printing, periodicals and research databases, but cannot extend interlibrary loan services or remote database access for members of the general public.
