Borrow, Renew, Return

Learn about our borrowing rules and loan periods.

Borrower Responsibilities

It is the responsibility of all patrons using the Library to maintain their library account, return or renew materials on time and pay any overdue or replacement charges. All notices sent by the Library are considered courtesy notices. Library policy is to send notices via email. Failure to receive notices does not alter the patron's responsibilities. View your library record.

Patrons removing, damaging or concealing materials belonging to the Library are subject to replacement charges and possible disciplinary action. Theft and deliberate damaging of library materials are serious crimes. Destruction of research materials is detrimental to study and scholarship and the mission of the University as well as the Library.

Suspension of Library Privileges

Failure to respond to recall notices or overdue notices within the time limits specified and/or failure to pay fines or for materials lost by the borrower results in suspension of library privileges or progressive disciplinary action. A person who has had their library privileges suspended is not entitled to service from any department of the Library. Library privileges are restored after recalled or overdue items are returned and late charges are paid, or payment is made for lost items.
