The proof of membership required for registering special agreement borrowers has been simplified. Rather than requiring a specific type of proof for each group,  it is up to the discretion of the staff member taking the application as to whether the ‘proof’ provided is sufficient.

Example of sufficient proof include:

• membership fee receipt
• membership card
• Staff card
• letter of introduction

Any of these formats is acceptable for any Special Agreement member. Applicants still need to provide proof of identity and address (if either of these are not covered by the above proof of membership).

If staff have any concerns when registering someone, please don’t hesitate to ask for assistance. Jack, Sandra or myself can help.

In addition, all special agreement members are registered for one year. There is no need to match library membership dates to the applicant’s organisation subscription. Hopefully this will make registering users at the desk simpler.

I have updated the application form and information on the wiki.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
