Request Access to Online Resources (Friends Account)

A friend account is requested by those who are not already in the system (eg. nursing preceptors, Adjunct faculty) but a "friend" of the University who is providing a service for faculty, students or staff. The friend account is the way to access our online resources. The list of eligible patrons is on the matrix as "Affiliated Faculty". These are all people who want to do research here, who are asked to come by the University and who are usually here for a short period of time. 
 
Patrons can get remote access via a friend account but not all patrons with a friend account will automatically get remote access. Some patrons will be granted a friend account for the sole purpose of accessing their borrowed items and due dates only. These patrons will not have remote access. (Getting remote access depends on the status of the user, and the patron must be somehow connected with the university.) 
 
Requests for Friend Accounts should be referred to the Access Services Coordinator. It should be accompanied by a letter from a faculty member in the department or faculty at which the researcher is associated and indicate the period of time that the account is needed for.
