Patrons may clear their records by returning the items to the Library or by making payment for them to the Bursar's office. HS and UVa faculty and staff may authorize other affiliated patrons to check out materials in their name by filling out the appropriate form, available from the Circulation desk. The Health Sciences Library will not check out items on any record other than the patron present unless the completed, signed form has been received and the authorizing patron's record updated accordingly. Patrons authorized to borrow for others must present their own ID when checking out items, even though the charge will be made to the authorizing patron's record. Circulation staff will then check out the items to the slide company rather than to the patron, so that the slide company is responsible for the pickup and safe return of the items.
Patrons are responsible for filling out the request forms completely and correctly.
All three available companies offer same day or next day service, depending upon what time of day the order was placed, will deliver the order to the patron's office or department or drop off at the Library, and will bill to the charge code specified by the patron on the request form. They pick up and deliver items at the Library twice a day, Monday through Friday. International Imaging is located in Charlottesville. Their available services vary slightly from Medical Photography and patrons requiring information about special development processes should call the company for details. When items are checked out to International Imaging, Circulation staff will call the company to arrange for pickup and delivery.
