Locating and checking out Materials
More than 12,000 books are catalogued on the on-line catalog system, which can be accessed from any computer in the library. New students will be added to the patron database each semester. Materials may be checked out by presenting them to the staff member at the checkout desk. (Length of checkout time varies.) Under no circumstances should students remove library property or materials without permission from a staff member.
Fines
Fines will be assessed on all overdue materials. Overdue stack books are charged twenty cents ($0.20) a day to a maximum of $20 per book. Overdue reference, periodical, non-print, and reserved materials are charged $5.00 a day with no limit. All fines are due before the end of the semester. Fines may be paid in the Learning Center until two weeks prior to dead week when all fines will be paid through the Business Office. Students will not be allowed to take final examinations until all library charges have been paid. Grades may be held until overdue books are returned and fines paid.
Lost or Damaged Materials
If a book or other media is lost or damaged while in a students possession, that students will be charged according to the cost of replacing the material. Minimum charge for a lost book is $20.
Food and Drinks
Food and drinks are allowed in the Learning Center. This is a privilege not a right. Students and patrons will be held responsible for damage that may result from carelessness and will be expected to clean up after themselves. Under no circumstances will food or drinks be allowed near computers.
