Another way of gaining access to Library materials is with a LOUIS Reciprocal Borrowing Card. It's a way for active students, faculty and staff of Louisiana colleges and universities to borrow materials from other academic libraries in person. Please note that possession of a LOUIS Reciprocal Borrowing Card does not guarantee borrowing privileges from all Louisiana academic libraries. Policies differ from library to library, and the lending library has the option to honor the LOUIS Reciprocal Borrowing Card based upon the status (undergraduate, graduate, faculty or staff) of the cardholder.
