Institutional Membership
An institutional membership allows an authorised person at a
particular institution, borrowing rights on behalf of that
institution. The authorised user is not personally responsbile
for any items that are borrowed: this includes payment for items lost
or damaged and overdue fines. For this reason the officer in charge
of the institution must sign the form and accept responsibility for
items borrowed by the authorised user. An institutional
membership is valid for the current calendar year.
An institution is an establised organisation, organised for a
certain purpose. Most insitutes joining the library would be
those dedicated to education, public service or culture. Examples
include: pre-schools, schools and child-care centres.
To join as an institutional member, you must fill in an
institutional membership application and have it signed by the Officer
in Charge and stamped with the Instituition stamp. This form must
be returned to any library branch within
Casey-Cardinia Library Service, where a membership card will be made up
for the Instutution, care of the authorised user.
Institutional members may borrow up to 30 items. The loan
period is 4 weeks and overdue fines apply for items returned
late. The institution is responsible for any items that are not
returned to the library, or are lost. Due to copyright
restrictions, institutional members can not borrow videos or DVDs.
