Rationale The library's policy of open stacks allows users direct access to materials. Users often find items that are related to the desired subject either in proximity to the book searched for or serendipitously. One objective of our circulation policy is to provide a balance between a loan period sufficient for using the material and having those books available on the shelves. Without fines students can choose to ignore overdue notices and keep materials through the end of the semester without penalty unless the book is recalled for reserve or requested by another user. The new fine system will encourage the quick return of books to the shelves.
Notices are a courtesy.
Student will be placed on the Stop List at the end of the semester. If neither is available, users will be requested to return or to make an appointment.
