Last year we stopped charging overdue fines to faculty, and this is simply a continuation of that same policy. This brings us into general consensus with the River Campus Libraries, who stopped charging overdue fines to all patrons last fall. Replacement cost and a processing fee is assessed when an item is 30 days overdue. Overdue materials can be renewed online and by phone during this 30 day period. After 30 days, items must be brought to the library for renewal.
All loans are subject to recall if needed by another user .
Fines are assessed for overdue reserve materials. Overdue fines are typically not assessed for material borrowed from libraries outside the University of Rochester. However, in the case of egregiously overdue items that indicate abuse of the system, we may block a borrower s privileges until the issue is resolved. Materials that are damaged while on loan are subject to replacement or repair fees. Payments are accepted at the Sibley circulation desk only.
