ARKLink allows statewide book circulation for colleges and universities

Students, faculty and staff from UAMS can now get an ARKLink card from the UAMS Library. With the ARKLink card in hand, they can go to the libraries from other participating universities and check out books, because the UAMS Library is participating in ARKLink, a consortium of Arkansas college and university libraries.

Here’s how it works:

1. Come to the Circulation Desk in the UAMS Library to get your ARKLink card.
2. Once you get the card, take it to one of the participating libraries and present it, along with a photo ID, at that library’s Circulation Desk to register for services.

Things to remember:

• The circulation privileges are specifically for books.
• Each library sets its own guidelines for levels of service. These guidelines cover the number of items that may be checked out at one time, and the length of time a patron may keep them.
• Privileges will not include journals, special collection materials, AVs, computer software, anatomical models, reserve materials or electronic resources restricted by licensing agreements.

ARKLink participating institutions are:

Libraries are continuing to join, so look for the list to expand in the near future.
