Current fine rates are available from the circulation staff in each library. A borrower who fails to return library material upon request will be prevented from enrolling the following semester. Departing students who fail to return library material will be charged for the replacement costs of the material plus a processing fee for each item not returned. Fines should be paid at the Main Library circulation desk upon receipt of the fine notice. Fines remaining unpaid at the end of the semester will result in a student's enrollment being held the following semester.
Many instructors use reserve shelves to ensure access to heavily used sources.
Beginning two hours before closing, some reserve materials are available for overnight loan, due at the posted time the next day. Questions about reserve policies should be directed to the reserve supervisor in each library. Because of the need to ensure reasonable access to required reading, fines for violating reserve regulations are stiff and improper retention or removal of material is regarded as a very serious offense. Reserve fines should be paid at the Main Library circulation desk upon receipt of the fine notice. For example, smoking is forbidden in all of the libraries and on the entrance ramp to Mudd Center.
