The LIBRARY RESEARCH CARD Program offers professional researchers who are not affiliated with Rensselaer's Technology Park or Incubator Company Programs, but who need to make extensive use of the Libraries' circulating collections, with borrowing privileges similiar to those of Rensselaer faculty and graduate students.

However, interlibrary loan service, bibliographic instruction, and off-site electronic access to research databases are available only to Rensselaer students, faculty and staff.

HOW TO REGISTER

Application forms may be obtained from the Folsom Library's Circulation Desk, requested by calling 276 - 8310 or, if you have an Acrobat Reader, select PDF form to download a printable application form.

The regular annual registration fee for a LIBRARY RESEARCH CARD is $160. LIBRARY RESEARCH CARDS are valid for 365 days from receipt of payment. Cards are not transferable, and no refunds will be made for early termination of borrowing privileges or lack of use.

Borrowing privileges are dependent upon compliance with all library policies.

Questions about the program may be directed to Irving E. Stephens, head of Public Services (518 276 - 8325, EMAIL: stephi@rpi.edu).
