Identification All Tarleton faculty, staff, and students, both graduate and undergraduate, plus area residents and others, are welcome to utilize the resources of the Dick Smith Library. The automated library system requires an ID card with a barcode affixed to check out materials. Borrower Responsibilities Patrons are responsible for all materials borrowed on their ID cards. Therefore, patrons must make every effort to prevent library materials checked out to their ID card from being lost or damaged. Patrons are responsible for maintaining a current mailing address to which correspondence can be sent.
Patrons are responsible for returning or renewing library materials by the due date indicated.
If a patron loses an ID card, the patron MUST notify the TSU Police so that no further check-outs may be made against the patron card. New cards will be issued, but there is a replacement fee charged. Loan Periods Students and TSU staff may check-out up to ten items per visit and may retain up to twenty items in their possession at any one time. Items to be renewed must be brought to the library so they are correctly updated on the circulation database. If a fine has been incurred prior to the renewal request, this charge must be paid first.
