Faculty and Staff IDs
There is a registration card at the circulation desk, which all new faculty and staff must complete before an ID card is made.
- The card requires the signature of the new employee's Department Head to verify employment. You cannot make an ID without this signature.
- The faculty/staff member will also need their 'A' number. If it is not known, you can search the Banner system by name (see 'Banner', sub-section 'Searching for an 'A' number' in the manual in Chapter 6).
- Circulation staff must complete the back of the form.
Enter the record in Aleph the same as you would a student record (see Chapter 8). The only difference is the 'Patron Status' is '58 St. Mary's Faculty', or '57 St. Mary's Staff'.

The borrowing privileges for these patrons are:
- Faculty: Term Loans for SMU books. Books are due on May 30, but periodicals and videos will only have a seven-day loan.
- For other Novanet items, it depends on the lending institution. Items often have the same loan period as for SMU graduate students, but some will have a loan period of three weeks only. When you sign out an item to a SMU Faculty, Aleph will give you the correct due date, so always watch the screen.
- Staff: Three weeks for books. Periodicals and videos: seven-day loan.
