Participating Libraries - Students | Frequently Asked Questions
The VALE Reciprocal Borrowing Program lets you easily borrow materials at participating New Jersey college and university libraries. Faculty, staff and students who are in good standing at the RVCC library qualify for this onsite borrowing option. In order to use this service you must first complete a VALE Reciprocal Borrowing Application, available through the VALE website or at our circulation desk. For further information, you can download the appropriate brochure: Faculty & Staff, Students.
How do I sign up?
