Often we find that the library already has something that s being recommended, however, and we d like to be able to tell you so and provide the call number. We ll do that when you include address information with your suggestion. We used to do this, but it was unacceptable to our users, who understandably wanted access to the current newspaper. We know that vending machines on campus are supplied with current issues of the Register. Despite repeated requests, we ve been unable to persuade the publisher to deliver to the library at the same time.
Students check out books for three weeks.
Faculty can borrow books for 120 days, but those loans are subject to immediate recall after three weeks if an item is needed by someone else. Library obligations have been collected by the Business Office for many years because it has proven more efficient to have accounting and money handling centralized so that library staff are able to focus on providing other kinds of service to our users. Although the department is closed on evenings and weekends most services still are available. Items which have arrived and are ready to be picked up also can be obtained through the Circulation Desk whenever the library is open.
