About: Reciprocal Borrowing

The Clark Family Library is now a member of PALCI (Pennsylvania Academic Library Consortium, Inc.​).  This allows our faculty and students to have reciprocal borrowing privileges at several local colleges and universities, such as the University of Pittsburgh, The Pennsylvania State University, and West Virginia University.  

To borrow items from other PALCI Libraries, simply follow these steps:

• Confirm the library you want to visit participates in this program.
  • Click here list of participating libraries.
• Complete the Authorization Form and have it approved by a Clark Family Library Staff Member.
  • Click here for the Authorization Form.
• Take the completed form to the library you want to visit (Host Library).  You may be asked for additional information to complete the registration process.
• You are responsible for the materials you borrow from the Host Library you visit and are required to adhere to their due dates and policies.
• You are responsible to return the items to the Host Library from which they were borrowed.
