Borrowing

As of the Fall 2022, we no longer charge overdue fines for basic loans from the general collection.

Micromaterials, journals/periodicals (bound and current) government documents and maps are for LIBRARY USE ONLY.

  • Recalled materials not returned by the due date will be subject to fines of $1.00/day.
  • All patrons are subject to overdue fines as outlined below.

A selection of miscellaneous items are available for 4 hour or 2 hour loan periods; these items are normally for in-library use: Apple DVI adapter, calculators, headphone splitters, floppy diskette drive, HDMI cable, Mac-HDMI adapter, Mac-VGA adapters, remote controls for media-equipped study rooms, "Happy" light (LED energy lamp), rulers, scissors, scotch tape, whiteboard markers and erasers.

If you are working on a specific project and find that you need to borrow more items than your normal limit indicated above, please contact Library Services and your needs will be assessed on an individual basis.
