CIRCULATION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
·
Fines - Patrons are encouraged to return circulating and
reserve materials in a timely manner to ensure equitable access
for all library users. Patrons with overdue or lost materials
are subject to fines:
· A daily
fine of $.50/day will be assessed for regular circulating items.
After 30 days of delinquency, the item(s) will be declared lost
and the borrower charged a replacement fee.
· Course
reserve materials are checked out for two hours. After two
hours, the borrower is assessed a fine of $.50 per hour. If the
course reserve material is a book, it is considered lost and the
borrower is charged a replacement fee.
· Renew
Materials - Library materials must be renewed on or before
the due date. Materials cannot be renewed if they have been
recalled or placed on hold by another patron, if the borrower
has a delinquent interlibrary loan item(s), or any other
outstanding fees due to the Library. As a courtesy, overdue
notices are sent to borrowers after the loan period has expired.
Patrons may renew books online if they are not overdue. A
Library barcode is required to complete the transaction. Log on
to
My Library Account and
select the "Renew Items" option from the menu.
Materials that are overdue or have been renewed twice online
must be taken to the Library's circulation desk for processing.
·
Recall
Materials -
Circulating
materials may be recalled if a faculty member has requested the
item for course reserves, or if requested by another borrower
and the item has already been renewed once by the current
borrower.
· Place
Materials On Hold - Borrowers can place a hold on items
charged to other borrowers via the online catalog. Once the item
is returned to the Library, requesters will be contacted by
Library staff.
· Search
For Missing Books -
If an item
cannot be located on the shelf, Library users are encouraged to
ask the Circulation staff for assistance. Users may request
Circulation staff to conduct an on-demand and periodic search
for the missing item.
If not located immediately, Circulation staff will check the
stacks at regular intervals and notify the requester of the
results via email or telephone. Users are encouraged to place an
Interlibrary Loan request for time sensitive items
