UNM students, faculty and staff can authorize someone over 18 to pick up, check out, and renew library books.


For ILL books, you can add an authorized user to your ILLiad account by selecting Change User Information under the Tools menu on left side navigation options and updating the Authorized User field.
 

For non-ILL books, the authorizing borrower can initiate this request two ways:
 

1. Let us know you want to add a proxy borrower via Ask A Librarian! We can complete the process online if you can send proof of ID for both parties.

 

2. Go to a main campus library service desk with your proxy borrower

  • Complete a Proxy Authorization Form (found at the bottom of this FAQ)
  • Present your current Lobo Card
  • Proxy borrower presents their photo ID
  • Proxy receives a Proxy Borrower Card

For check out: the proxy must present the Proxy Borrower Card and their own photo ID.

*Note: Proxy Borrower Cards are good for 1 year.
