Circulation Policies

(Valid University Photo ID Required for all transactions)

Holds Policy

Library users may initiate a hold to request one or more currently checked out books . Holds can be placed online by selecting the Request Item button in Haystac, or at the Circulation Desk. The original borrower is then notified by phone and email that his/her books are now recalled for another Library user.

Once the requested items are returned, a pick-up notice is emailed and the books are held at the Circulation Desk for 10 days before they are re-shelved.

Other options for requesting unavailable materials include LINK+ and Interlibrary Loan.

Recall Policy

What happens when a book I have checked out is recalled?

The Circulation Desk will send an e-mail and also phone you with the following information:

• The book's due date.

• The book has become unrenewable.

• The book's overdue fines are increased to an additional $2.00 per day for a total of $2.25 per day with NO MAXIMUM OVERDUE FEE.

• There is no maximum fine on Recalls.

Remember: Important Information

• Keep your email and telephone information current by notifying the Circulation Desk or by filling out a change of information form which can be obtained from the Student Information Lobby (SIL) on the first floor of Warren Hall.

• Renewed books have their due date cancelled and are given a shortened due date.

• Overdue recalled books will block you from checking out further materials.

• Books recalled for Media Resources and Reserves will cancel your regular loan period.
