Other Libraries: ARKLink Cards

Academic libraries within Arkansas have an agreement whereby students and employees of any academic institution in the state may have library privileges in the library of any other Arkansas academic institution.

ARKlink cards are issued to CBC students for one semester and to CBC faculty for one year. An application for the card is available online or at the circulation desk. A card can only be issued by a librarian. Borrowing privileges may be revoked and grades withheld if lost materials are not returned to the lending library or paid for.

ARKLink patrons from another institution must present both an ARKlink card issued by their home library and a photo ID to the circulation desk of the lending library.
