All patrons except faculty and staff pay fines for other overdue materials. The date stamped in the book or on accompanying material indicates the due date except for material on recall. After that date, overdue fines apply. Items returned to the library after hours or during closed holiday periods are considered to be returned on the previous open date. Items returned to remote book depositories are considered to be returned on the last date emptied.
All patrons are financially responsible for lost or damaged materials.
Materials cannot be purchased from the library. Regardless of whether replacement or payment has been made for an item, it remains the property of the university. Any person who has falsely claimed to have lost materials simply to retain possession can be charged for illegally possessing state property. Patrons receive three overdue notices. All patrons with materials which are thirty days overdue receive a final bill for the replacement cost plus a processing fee and any accrued fines.
