Proxy Authorization
Faculty and Academic Staff currently employed at UW-Eau Claire may designate up to two people per semester to use the proxy service. This proxy authorization will permit faculty and academic staff to send a student assistant or the department program assistant to the library to pick up materials to be used by the faculty/academic staff member. The designated proxy will be able to use his/her personal Blugold card to do the checkout. Faculty and Academic Staff wishing to initiate a proxy authorization should fill out a authorization form (.pdf) and turn it in at the circulation desk
