There are short loan periods in place to allow access for all students in the class. Please make note of the due time for each item checked out. Items returned late are fined at $2.00 per hour. The fine begins at the due time and continue to accrue indefinantly until the item is returned. These fines are in place to ensure the prompt return. Circulation Desk Reserves may have a two hour, one day or three day loan period. Most print materials may be taken from the library; please ask the staff for permission to take the item outside. Audio Desk Reserves all have a four hour loan period. A/V materials may not be removed from the library, except by the professor who has placed the reserve.
