All materials must have a current due date in order to leave the Library. Materials to be renewed must be brought to the Circulation Desk and a new date obtained before they can taken out of the Library. One month before the end of the semester, faculty members and graduate students who have books charged out may request a special renewal. Books which have not been renewed more than once can be renewed again without bringing the books to the Library. The Library will provide a print-out of all books a patron has charged out and will indicate which books must be physically returned for renewal.
Patrons are responsible for verifying the status of their books.
Placing a request does not guarantee an item can be renewed. Special Permission Loans Materials which do not usually circulate outside the library, such as reserve or reference books, may be borrowed by special permission for two hours during the day, overnight, three days, or seven days. The circulation policy for reserve materials is set by the professor of the course, not by the library. Non-University patrons are not eligible for special permission loans. Materials returned after the special permission due date and time are subject to daily fines describe below.
