Library Access Privileges: For-profit Corporations
Library Cards
For-profit corporations may purchase a Scott Memorial
Library Corporate Membership for an annual fee of $1,750. This membership
entitles up to two employees of the corporation to receive the Library
privileges outlined below. Cards for additional employees are available
at the discounted rate of $400 per card. The year of membership begins
on the date of receipt of payment.
Corporate Member Library cards are the property of Thomas Jefferson
University. They do not entitle the holder to other services within
the University and must be surrendered upon request of Scott Memorial
Library staff.
Library cards must be presented in order to receive the services included
in the membership. The Library may refuse service if the Member's employee
has failed to bring the card to the Library.
If the card is lost or stolen, it is the responsibility of the card
holder to notify the Library immediately. If an original card holder
leaves the employ of the Member during the membership period, or if
the Member wishes to change its designated employee, the Library will
provide a new identification card for a $25.00 fee.
