- By phone: 812-488-1062 or 812-488-2462
- Via ACE Catalog.
Information on renewing interlibrary loan materials is here.
RESTRICTIONS
Borrowers are responsible for renewing or returning material on or before its due date. No fines are levied on overdue material; however, a restriction is placed on the patron record and no other material may be borrowed until the overdue material is returned or renewed.
There are no "grace periods" for overdue materials. Overdue notices are sent as a courtesy. Failing to receive an overdue notice does not absolve a borrower from responsibility should they be charged for long overdue material. Library users are responsible for maintaining accurate address information with the University and/or the library. For most loans, an overdue notice is generated one day after the due date, a second notice is generated 14 days later, and a final notice 28 days after the item was due.
CHARGES FOR UNRETURNED MATERIAL
Material not returned within one month of the due date is considered long overdue and may be given a status of "Lost." Patrons will be billed the cost to replace the item plus a $20 processing fee per item. Charges for lost material are transferred to the Business Office for collection.
RESERVES
Reserve materials are located at the Circulation Desk. Material placed on reserve may include library owned books, personal books, photocopies of articles, or any other paper format. Faculty must complete a Reserve Request form for each course, indicating which loan period for the material: 2-hour, 24-hour, 3-day or 7-day . Audio and video reserves are available in the Periodicals Department.
Anyone eligible to borrow library materials may borrow reserve materials.
STUDY ROOMS
Ten group study rooms are available on the 2nd and 4th floors of the library. Any of these rooms may be reserved for two hour blocks by individuals or groups. Sign-up sheets are located at the Circulation Desk and reservations can be made up to one week in advance, by calling 488-2462 or signing-up in person. Study rooms close 30 minutes before the building closes.
Contact the Circulation Desk at 488-2462 for further information.
