Although there are no general restrictions on the number of materials that may be borrowed at one time, the library staff reserves the right to place restrictions on the borrowing of library materials to protect materials or to facilitate resource sharing. Circulating titles, except those on reserve, are checked out to William Mitchell students, faculty, and staff until the last day of classes in the semester, and to other borrowers for two weeks. These materials may be checked out overnight two hours before the library closes. They are due back in the library within an hour after the library opens the next day. Commercial audio tapes circulate for one day, except during the last two weeks of classes and during final exams, when they circulate for only two hours at a time.
Commercial videotapes circulate for three days.
Software disks are checked out for two hours at a time if the software is to be used in the library, and for one day at a time if the software is available for home use. Students may request that the library staff recall or put on hold any circulating title from the regular collection that is checked out when they need it. A separate charge is assessed for each bar-coded item, not just each title. Student bills for unpaid fines and unreturned materials are submitted to the Accounting Office for collection. Students will not be able to register or graduate if these bills are not paid.
