The Nelson Poynter Memorial Library at USF St. Petersburg campus is open for reduced hours.
Please use the button below to find out everything you need to know.
(1) USF St. Petersburg faculty may loan their ID card to a graduate/teaching assistant to borrow library materials. The graduate/teaching assistant must present both the faculty member’s ID card and their own when borrowing materials. A letter of authorization on USF St. Petersburg letterhead, or an email from a faculty member’s official email address, is required in order for the graduate/teaching assistant to borrow on behalf of the faculty member.
(2) The USF St. Petersburg Proxy Card allows graduate/teaching assistants to borrow materials for faculty members at all University of South Florida Libraries. The card is issued in addition to the main USF St. Petersburg identification card; it does not substitute for it.
In applying for borrowing privileges, the faculty member assumes full responsibility for all materials loaned to the graduate/teaching assistant. Any fees associated with these borrowing privileges, including those for lost, damaged, and overdue recalled items, are the responsibility of the faculty member.
Faculty member and graduate/teaching assistant agree that:
Faculty and graduate/teaching assistants may apply for a Proxy Card after either a letter of authorization or an official USF email has been provided by a faculty member. Once either a letter or an email has been received, a member of Access Services will contact you either via email or phone to schedule an appointment to set up a Proxy Card.
Cards expire at the end of each semester, and may be renewed each fall, spring, and summer. The graduate assistant may bring a letter on USF St. Petersburg letterhead from the faculty member asking for renewal of the card.
