STUDENT SERVICES

CIRCULATION POLICIES

All library materials to be checked out should be charged out at the circulation counter by presenting a current school identification card. The school ID is valid only for the semester the student has enrolled in classes. Borrowing privileges are automatically lost when a student withdraws from school. Books are checked out only to the person to whom the school ID is issued. Borrowing by proxy is not allowed. Each borrower is held responsible for all the materials checked out on his name.

Library materials that are checked out are subject to recall upon expiration of the loan period or at anytime if needed for class use. Students with overdue books or overdue accounts will not be allowed to borrow until the accounts are settled and the overdue books are renewed or checked in.

LENDING PERIODS

Students may check out a maximum of three books from the General Circulation for overnight loan and must be checked in the following morning not later than 8:00 AM. For Fiction books, a maximum of two may be checked out for a period of two weeks.
Faculty members may check out a maximum of two titles per subject taught from the General Circulation and must be returned at the end of the semester. Faculty members may check out circulation books placed in shelves especially marked For Library Use Only for a period of one week.

RENEWALS

Faculty, students and other qualified borrowers may renew books, which are not overdue, have not been recalled to be placed on reserve, or have not been placed on hold for other borrowers. Books may be renewed during the semester by telephone or when presented at the circulation desk from which they were checked out. A book may be renewed once only to give others the opportunity to borrow the book.

RETURNS

Borrowers of library materials are responsible for returning them to the Circulation Desk on the date indicated on the due date card. The library is not responsible for notifying borrowers of overdue materials.
