Due dates must be observed and all borrowed materials handled with care. When a book is seven days overdue the patron's library account will be blocked. When a book is 14 days overdue the patron's administrative records will be blocked. Students must return DDS books by the last day of final exams for that semester, or will be blocked administratively by the end of that day. The loan period is set by the lending library and can range from one week to one month.
Renewals are at the discretion of the lending library.
Only one renewal may be requested per item. The Federal Copyright Law prohibits Iona College Libraries from requesting, during a given calendar year, more than five articles published within the past five years from any single periodical title. No more than one article may be obtained from the same volume, issue and title of a single periodical. Items unavailable as a result of copyright restrictions may potentially be obtained through alternative sources as an additional fee. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction.
