After 15 bad check-ins for the same patron, loan privileges will automatically be reviewed and may be suspended. If a library patron in any category has one or more overdue books charged out, no further books may be checked out until overdues are returned. Overdue books may not be renewed by the telephone. Current College of Charleston faculty and students who do not have fines or overdue books may borrow books from participating colleges and universities in South Carolina. Borrowers must first obtain a statewide borrowing card at the College of Charleston Library circulation department.
Policies vary from institution to institution.
Borrowers are responsible for learning and honoring circulation policies and procedures of the lending library as well as the safe return of all materials borrowed. Current students and faculty from participating institutions may borrow from the College of Charleston with a statewide borrowing card and picture identification. All library registration and circulation records are confidential and are protected by the Library Confidentiality Act. Charleston Academic Library Consortium faculty and staff may arrange for extended loans by request.
