4. RESPONSIBILITIES OF LIBRARIES A. Each library will maintain on the TexShare WEB a current record of privileges and limitations applicable to this Agreement, including collections or types of materials not subject to the borrowing privileges conferred under this Agreement, so a prospective borrower may become acquainted with the regulations of the lending library. B. Eligible borrowers may request from their home library an authorized TexShare Card to present as identification at other TexShare libraries. Libraries may refuse' to issue TexShare Cards to borrowers with outstanding charges at their home library or outstanding charges at any other TexShare library. C. Lending libraries will take available and appropriate actions, including timely notification to the home library, to recover payment from delinquent borrowers. D. Home libraries will employ available and appropriate means to recover payment from borrowers if lending libraries are unsuccessful in recovering such charges. Home libraries will take appropriate action with regard to delinquent borrowers, including suspension of privileges extended under this agreement or any other measures deemed appropriate and consistent with local library practice. E. If lending libraries fail to receive payment from borrowers for lost or damaged materials, home libraries will reimburse lending libraries for obligations outstanding longer than six months. Reimbursement will cover the cost of materials only. 5. IDENTIFICATION OF ELIGIBLE BORROWERS Identification of patrons eligible for privileges under this Agreement will be by a TexShare Card. The expiration date is set by the home library, but is not to exceed one year from date of issuance. The card will be signed by the director of the home library (or his/her designee) and the borrower. The lending library may also require other identification and may issue its own identification card to be used in conjunction with the TexShare Card. Borrowed items lent by the lending library after the expiration date established by the home library are the responsibility of the lending library. 6. LIAISON AND PROBLEM RESOLUTION Each library will appoint a liaison for the TexShare Library Card Program. Duties of the liaison include promoting the program locally, making available copies of the program's guidelines and other information, insuring that the library's policies with regard to this program are maintained on the TexShare Web, maintaining a supply of TexShare Cards, administering the program at the library, and resolving individual problems.
