They can be renewed by phone, mail, or e-mail. If you renew by mail or e-mail, you may assume the books have been renewed unless you receive a message requesting prompt return. Because of the irregularity of mail, no fines are charged for overdues. If items become overdue, reminders are sent. After two reminders, a bill is sent, under the assumption that the books may be lost.
Billing includes replacement and processing.
Some books in the library have restricted borrowing only. At this time these books are not all marked on the booklists yet. Eventually, when the whole catalog is on line, the call numbers will show which books are restricted. Elsewhere in this website is an index of our current booklists. There are about 17,000 titles on the shelves and the booklists cover only a part of the collection.
