Borrowers are responsible for maintaining a correct record of their social security number and mailing address with the University, and for obtaining a corrected borrower card in case of error or changed data. Borrowers are responsible for material checked out to them until it is returned to an appropriate location. Restrictions are posted at individual book returns. Return receipts are issued on request. The General Libraries is not responsible for notifying borrowers that materials are overdue.
All materials are available for library use, and most are available for home use.
Some items are restricted to short-term loan periods from two hours to seven days. General collection loan periods include fourteen days, twenty-eight days, and one semester. A borrower may request that the library recall an item that has been checked out to another borrower for at least fourteen days. Recall requests may be made at any time, but recalled items are not due during intersessions, official University holidays, or spring vacation. Recalled items are due on the date specified on the notice, or immediately if required for reserve use.
