Registered students may check out up to 5 books, 5 periodicals, and 5 pamphlets
per day. Early Childhood Education (ECE) books are limited to 20 total
at any time. You must have one photo ID with you to check out items from
our library.
Books
Books from our main collection may be checked out for 3 weeks. Registered
students may check out up to 5 books per day.
Periodicals
Current issues of periodicals do not circulate. Back issues of periodicals
may be checked out for 3 days. We maintain a printed list of periodicals
to which our library subscribes. Registered students may check out up to
5 periodicals per day.
Reference materials
Reference materials do not circulate. However, up to 10 pages per day of
reference materials will be photocopied free of charge at the circulation
desk.
Reserve Materials
Reserve materials are located behind the Circulation desk. Instructors
ask that these materials have very limited circulation so that all students
can use them. Some can only be borrowed for a number of hours, but others
can be borrowed for 2 or 3 days. Please ask staff at the Circulation desk
about specific materials. Reserve materials can be renewed over the telephone.
Fines on reserve material are calculated at $.25 per item per hour,
with a maximum of $5.00 per item.
Holds
You may place holds on items that are checked out. When those items are
returned, you will then be notified. Ask at the circulation desk for details.
Interlibrary Loan
If the material you need is not in our library we may be able to borrow
it for you through Interlibrary Loan, or we can tell you which area libraries
have the material. If we borrow it for you, you need to allow 2 to 2 1/2
weeks for the item to get to our library. Ask at the Reference desk for
help locating specific materials.
Overdue, lost, and damaged materials
Holds will be placed on grades, transcripts, and registration unless all
materials are returned by the last day of the current quarter. Lost materials
will be billed at the replacement cost plus a $15.00 per item processing
fee. A fee of $7.50 is charged for an item returned with a missing barcode
or spine label. Fines on reserve material are calculated at $.25 per item
per hour, with a maximum of $5.00 per item.
