Various library materials may be borrowed. A barcode attached to the University ID enables materials to be charged to the patron record. Once the barcode has been attached to the patron record the charging process is possible without the University ID in hand.

Renewals
Most material can be renewed unless needed by another borrower. Renewals may be made:
- In person at the library circulation desk (if books are NOT overdue)
- By phone (812-488-1062 or 812-488-2462) (if books are NOT overdue)
- Via the Libraries' web page. For renewal (only possible if books are NOT overdue) in the ACE catalog access the PATRON option, then provide the 14 digit barcode and last name to gain access to the Patron Information page. Check items to be renewed in the Renewal column of the Charged Items list.
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 library. For a normal loan an overdue notice is generated one day after the due date, a second notice is generated 28 days later, and a third notice 28 days after the second notice. Back
Charges for Unreturned Material
Material not returned within two months of the due date is considered long overdue and may be given a status of "Lost." Charges for lost material are transferred to the Business Office for collection. Back
Reserves
Reserve materials are located at the Circulation Desk. Faculty members choose a 2 hour, 24 hour, 3 day or 7 day loan period for the material placed on reserve. Material placed on reserve may include library owned books, personal books, photocopies of articles, or any other paper format. A Reserve Request form for each course is required and can be downloaded here. Audio and video material placed on reserve by faculty members is available in the Periodicals Department and the Music Listening Library.
Anyone eligible to borrow library materials may borrow reserve materials. Back
