SEFLIN Library Card Program

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the SEFLIN Library Card Program and what are the policies for card use?
A:

The SEFLIN Library Card Program is a reciprocal borrowing program available to academic member institutions of SEFLIN (Southeast Florida Library Information Network).  Participation in the program is voluntary.  Each institution determines the level of use by other member institutions through its Use Policy.

The participating institution also determines eligibility for and issues SEFLIN Library Cards among its student, faculty, and professional staff.  The institution is responsible for the replacement of, or reimbursement for, any materials damaged or not returned by its student, faculty, or professional staff member using a valid SEFLIN card.

The institution’s also determines eligibility of visiting student, faculty, and professional staff from other participating institutions.  The Use Policy can restrict visitors to a specific type (student, faculty, or professional staff) or place limitations on the use of licensed resources, reference services, check-out of materials, etc.

SEFLIN Library Card Program users are responsible for reviewing the Use Policy of a host library prior to each use.  The Use Policy for each institution may be viewed by clicking the 'Participating Institutions & Policies' link in the menu on the left.
