Reserves:

All print, audio or video reserve items instructors have left at the library are shelved behind the Library Circulation Desk. These materials must be used in the Library unless the faculty member requests that they circulate to his or her students for a limited period (usually overnight). Electronic reserves are accessed from the library’s home page. Faculty can find further information about reserves here.

Interlibrary Loan:

A student may request up to three items through Interlibrary Loan. We ask that you check before requesting materials, however, to see if they are available in another library convenient for you to access. Please submit complete bibliographic information on each book or article to expedite the process. As a general rule, it takes about 1 -2 weeks to receive materials from another library.

Overdue Fines:

When an item is declared lost, the library will charge the borrower the replacement cost of the item, a processing fee of $25.00 and the maximum fine of $10.00. In addition, the borrower will be flagged at the Registrar’s Office and will not be able to register for classes or obtain a transcript or diploma until the account is cleared.
