What is a proxy?

A proxy is a person allowed to check out or pick up materials for you. 

The University of Oregon Libraries allows UO faculty members to designate one proxy to act as representative when checking out material. 

As well, any UO Employee, Student, Oregon Card Patron, or others with UO Library Accounts requiring accessibility assistance may designate one proxy to act as representative when checking out material. 

How to sign up:

1. The person who needs a proxy completes the UO Libraries Proxy Request Form. Copies are also available at the Library.
2. Your proxy presents the signed form and a photo ID at the circulation desk at any of the UO Libraries Locations.

What to keep in mind:

• The individual's proxy status will expire after one year or your designated expiry date, whichever comes first.
• You are authorizing that person to check out material using your library account.  You are responsible for replacement costs, service charges, and overdue fines that accrue for material checked out on your account by your proxy. 
• Do not share your account password. Proxies should never have access to your DuckID password, nor does their proxy status grant remote access to UO Libraries' electronic resources. 
• If you want to cease access for the proxy before the expiration date, please contact Access Services as soon as possible to have them removed from your account at libhelp@uoregon.libanswers.com or 541-346-3065.
