Borrowing privileges are limited primarily to holders of a current and validated University Identification Card, and to full-time faculty of the rank of assistant professor and above from other colleges and universities within the state. Additional borrowers include current paid members of the USC Alumni Association or the Thomas Cooper Society, officials of government agencies, and others by special arrangement. Elementary and high school students are encouraged to use the resources of school and public libraries available to them. All users of library facilities must be prepared to submit proper identification upon request. B. Circulation of Library Materials 1.
Books generally circulate for a one month period and are due by the last date stamped in the book.
Faculty may keep books longer than the three week-period but such books are subject to immediate recall. Faculty may borrow periodicals, reference books, microforms and other restricted materials for a limit of 24 hours. Circulation files are considered confidential, and library staff will not reveal who has a certain book checked out. Book orders come primarily from faculty and library staff. However, students and University employees may suggest book purchases.
