Faculty Loan Policies for Borrowing Library Materials

The University Cardinal Card must be used for all library transactions.

The borrowing period for books in the General Collection is three weeks.

Faculty members may request a longer loan period if necessary.

There is no limit to the number of books that may be borrowed at one time from the General Collection by faculty.

Books may be renewed once unless there is a "hold" on them. (When necessary this condition may be waived).

Reference books and research periodicals are restricted to library use only. Faculty members, when necessary, may check out these for one week, with the exception of the latest issue of a journal. Some general magazines can be checked out for recreational reading (inquire at the Circulation Desk for title list).

Returning Library Materials

Books must be returned to the circulation desk.

Books left on the library tables are not considered returned, therefore, please return books to the circulation desk.

The book drop should be used only when the library is closed
