Also the faculty delinquent borrower will ultimately be billed the replacement cost for overdue items in addition to fines accrued. Overdue fines are assessed at the rate of 25 cents per day per item. It is especially important to return course reserve items promptly. Fines for course reserve items are 25 cents per hour per item. Generally, a faculty borrower may keep the recalled item for three weeks from the date it was borrowed.
Materials needed for course reserve, however, are due immediately.
For these, the library sends a recall notice specifying a new due date. Failure to respond promptly to recall notices is regarded as a very serious infraction of borrowing privileges. The library will suspend borrowing privileges and may take additional measures. If lost, damaged or destroyed items are not reported to a library circulation unit in a timely manner, borrowing privileges are suspended and are not reinstated until the user has accounted for all non-returned items. The University Financial Services bills the faculty member for the cost of the item plus any overdue fines owed.
