The standard period forall regular loans is four weeks, and a borrower may renew all regular loans twice - in person, via the LIAS on the Web, mail, telephone, or email. All library materials are subject to recall. Reference books, periodicals, and newspapers are available for use only in the library. Failure to receive notification does not relieve the borrower of the obligation to return materials when they are due. Reserve materials are available upon request at the Circulation Desk.
Reserves are for use only in the library unless otherwise specified by the instructor.
Semester Loans - 200 items may be borrowed at any one time. Since the length of time varies for receiving materials from other locations, patrons are encouraged to place their requests at least two weeks in advance. Faculty, students, staff, alumni, and Advisory Board members who complete a University Libraries Borrower's Card are permitted to use the Interlibrary Loan service to borrow materials from other Penn State libraries. Materials borrowed from other libraries thru the Interlibrary Loan service are bound by the regulations of the lending library.
