Staff who need to make photocopies of articles, or who need reference materials for a short time, can ask the Library staff for special assistance. Faculty can check out books indefinitely. Each year in June, faculty are sent a list of materials they have checked out. Faculty are responsible for checking to see that they still have these items. Lost materials should be reported so that they can be either replaced or formally withdrawn.
Faculty can check out periodicals for one week.
Faculty who need to use reference materials for a short time can ask the Library staff for special assistance. Persons who are adjunct faculty are given faculty privileges for the quarter during which they teach, and as far before that quarter as needed. If one patron requests what another patron has checked out, the first patron can use the item for four weeks, but then must return the item to the library. Faculty, staff, and students are all subject to fines if they do not respond to recall notices. Librarians will not disclose to one patron what another patron has checked out, or who is using a particular item.
