Checking Out and Returning Materials

Materials are checked out at the circulation desk on the main floor of the library. At this service point, materials can also be renewed and returned. Students, faculty and staff need to present a valid U-Card in order to check out any materials, including course reserve and items requested through the interlibrary loan service. No materials will be checked out unless a valid U-Card or a library generated community card is present. Borrowers with outstanding overdue materials or unpaid fines of $10 or more will not be permitted to check out materials.

Return materials to the circulation desk whenever the library is open. There is also a metal book return outside the main door to the library that may be utilized when the library is closed. It is especially important not to return course reserve materials in the book return when the library is open. Fines may accrue on these short term loans because the book return is not regularly checked during the day when the library is open.
