Books
Books are due at the end of the academic year unless
recalled by another patron. If recalled, books are due
three weeks after the date of check out. If a book is
recalled you will receive an email notice with a new due
date. Recalls are enforced for all members of the campus
community. Cage books circulate under
the same guidelines as books in the regular stacks. However,
you will need to ask a reference librarian to retrieve
the book for you. The librarian will take the book to
the circulation desk where you can check it out.
The libraries, based on the recommendations of the Instructional
Support Committee, have developed guidelines
for handling the replacement of lost books, books that
must be replaced due to significant damage, maximum number
of books checked out at one time, and the procedure for
renewals.
Course Reserves
Normally, course reserves circulate for either two hours,
one day, or three days. Link to course reserves
for information about placing items on reserve for your
classes. If you need to borrow one of your own course
reserves, a circulation desk supervisor will help you
check it out for the amount of time that you need to use
it.
Permanent Reserve
These books, kept behind the circulation desk, normally
circulate for two hours. If you need something that is
on permanent reserve for a longer period, please check
with a reference librarian.
Videos and DVDs
Most videos and DVDs circulate to faculty for one week.
There are some items in the collection that are noncirculating.
The catalog should give you this information. Please speak
with the Listening
Room supervisor for assistance in using noncirculating
material for your classes. Link to the Listening
Room/AV Center Borrowing Policies for more information.
CDs
CDs are primarily intended as study material and for
in-library listening. This is a noncirculating collection.
However, the Listening
Room supervisor will arrange for you to check out
CDs that you need for your class preparation and presentations.
CDs checked out to faculty normally circulate for one
week. Link to the Listening
Room/AV Center Borrowing Policies for more information.

Periodicals (magazines and journals)
Periodicals located on the third floor circulate for
two weeks. They may be recalled three days after the checkout
date. Recent issues of magazines and journals located
in the current periodicals area do not circulate. If you
need a copy of an article, please ask at the circulation
desk. If you can wait for 24 hours, we will make the copy
for you. The unbound issues of some journals and magazines
are kept behind the circulation desk. These items circulate
for two hours. You must have your Pioneer One-Card to
check these out. Locations for journals will be indicated
in the catalog record. Please check with a reference librarian,
a circulation desk supervisor, or assistant for help in
tracking down the volume or issue that you are looking
for. You will also find current periodicals and older
issues of journals and magazines in the Science
Library.
