OCLC Reciprocal Faculty Borrowing Program (RFBP) is a special program that allows current full-time faculty members direct physical access to library collections of visiting participating institutions.
Over 150 universities participate in OCLC's program. Borrowing privileges are determined by each institution. Faculty members are encouraged to check the policies of individual libraries by referring to that institution's web page.

libraries ask for an application to be filled out before visiting to make sure
they are ready for your visit. Some libraries will issue you a library card for
their library.
