The Gator 1 identification card , which must be activated at a library circulation desk, serves as the library card. No library materials, including items on reserve, can be checked out without it. Most items are due April 1 or October 1.
Borrowers are responsible for returning materials on or before the due date stamped in each item.
Bookdrops are available when the libraries are closed. Faculty members are encouraged to do online renewal for library materials they wish to renew. This should be done no earlier than three weeks before the April 1 and October 1 due dates. Renewal is permitted a maximum of 10 times before the item must be returned to the library. Reference service is available during posted hours at an information or reference desk at any of the Smathers Libraries.
