| Renewing Library Materials |
|
Open stack books may be renewed twice, unless another borrower has requested the book. Overdue fines must be paid before you can renew a book. Reserve books may not be renewed. Convenient ways to renew books: You can renew books without having the books in hand. Stop by the Circulation Desk with your valid student I.D. and we'll renew your books (except Reserves and 2-hour-loan items).
You can also renew books over the telephone or over the Web (through BobCat). Have your student ID in hand, because your barcode number & student ID number will be needed.
View your library record in BobCat. You can now view your library record in BobCat. Check the correctness of your name, address, phone number; items checked out to you and their due dates, items on hold; and fines.
|
| Lost Library Materials |
Library material not returned within 50 days of the due date or recalled material not returned within 14 days of the first recall notice are assumed to be lost and are subject to replacement costs. A replacement bill consists of :
-
-
 |
The purchase price quoted from Books in Print or, if not in print, the replacement price as determined by the University Libraries;
|
| |
A $10.00 processing fee.
The purchase price, but not the processing
fee,
will be refunded for any item returned
within one year from the date the
bill was paid. |
Contact the Circulation Department of the appropriate library to resolve problems with lost, stolen, or long overdue books. Library delinquencies may result in suspension of borrowing privileges, withholding of grades and degree, and possible legal action.
|
| Placing Library Holds on Returned Materials |
If you cannot locate a book
on the shelf, check in BOBCAT,
the online catalog, to see if someone else
has borrowed the book. If the book is on
loan, you may recall the item via BOBCAT
to be held for you when it is returned. When
the book comes back, we will notify you and
hold the book for you at the Circulation
Desk.
|
| Change of Address |
Since you are obligated to respond to overdue, recall, and fine notices, please inform the Library of any change of address and/or telephone changes. YOU ARE LIABLE FOR FINES AND PROCESSING FEES WHETHER OR NOT MAILED NOTICES OR BILLS ARE RECEIVED.
|
| Library Assisted Searches for Materials |
If you cannot locate a book
on the shelf even though the BobCat status
is "Available", the Circulation Desk will
search for the book at your request. If we
locate the book, we will notify you, and
hold the book at the Circulation Desk. If
the book cannot be located, the library may
be able to secure another copy of the book
through Inter-Library Loan (ILL).
