Virginia Tidewater Consortium (VTC) -
borrowing privileges at local libraries
To
obtain borrowing privileges at local consortium colleges and
universities (EVMS students, faculty & staff):
- Go to Edward E. Brickell Library
- Be in good standing (no unpaid fines, no overdues)
- Ask for a Virginia Tidewater Consortium (VTC) card
- Take a picture I.D. and your VTC card to one of the consortium libraries and apply for privileges at their circulation desk.
The Virginia Tidewater Consortium
for Higher Education (VTC) serves as the major vehicle for regional
cooperation among institutions of higher education and affiliated
agencies. Since 1973, consortium institution libraries have
participated in reciprocal direct borrowing to students, faculty and
staff of member institutions.
EVMS faculty, staff and students who
want to borrow materials from VTC libraries need to visit the Edward E.
Brickell Library circulation desk to obtain a VTC consortium card.
A consortium card is good for one semester for students and staff and
for the fiscal year for faculty. You will need to apply for a new card
when the old one expires.
The VTC card allows the recipient to
apply for library privileges at other VTC libraries, subject to the
rules, regulations and any restrictions on status of the lending
library. The extent of privileges is determined by the policies of the
lending library, which vary from institution to institution. You will
need your consortium card and a picture I.D. when you apply for
privileges at a VTC library.
You may view
circulation policies and online catalogs of VTC libraries online.
