BORROWING
LIBRARY MATERIALS
Identification Required
All Library users must obtain a Library barcode in order to exercise
borrowing privileges. A Library barcode will be issued to users
presenting the following types of identification:
- AUC students, faculty, and staff - a valid picture
ID card from one of our member institutions.
- AUC alumni - a valid picture ID card issued by the
alumni's home institution.
- Visitors - a valid driver' s license or picture ID.
Visitors will be issued a Visitor's Badge.
Loan Period - Materials
from the main collections may be checked out for 28 days. Items
may be renewed twice if a "hold" has not been placed
on the item.
- Course reserve materials may be checked out for two
hours and may be requested for an additional two hours if there are
no pending requests.
CIRCULATION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Fines
Patrons are encouraged to return circulating and reserve materials in a timely manner to ensure equitable access for all library users. Patrons with overdue or lost materials are subject to fines:
- A
daily fine of $.50/day will be assessed for regular circulating
items. After 30 days of delinquency, the item(s) will be
declared lost and the borrower charged a replacement fee.
- Course reserve materials are checked out for
two hours. After two hours, the borrower is assessed a fine
of $.50 per hour. If the course reserve material is a book,
it is considered lost and the borrower is charged a replacement
fee.
Renew Materials
Library materials must be renewed on or before the due date. Materials cannot
be renewed if they have been recalled or placed on hold by another patron,
if the borrower has a delinquent interlibrary loan item(s), or any other outstanding
fees due to the Library. As a courtesy, overdue notices are sent to borrowers
after the loan period has expired.
Patrons may renew books online if they are not overdue. A Library barcode
is required to complete the transaction. Log on to My Library Account and
select the "Renew Items" option from the menu.
Materials that are overdue or have been renewed twice online must be taken
to the Library's circulation desk for processing
Recall Materials Circulating
materials may be recalled if a faculty member has requested
the item for course reserves, or if requested by another
borrower and the item has already been renewed once by
the current borrower.
Students must pay a $50 deposit (Money order only). The deposit is refundable if no fines are incurred. Allow two weeks for mailing.
Place Materials On Hold
Borrowers can place a hold on items charged to other borrowers via
the online catalog. Once the item is returned to the Library, requesters
will be contacted by Library staff.
Search For Missing Books
If an item cannot be located on the shelf, Library users
are encouraged to ask the Circulation staff for assistance.
Users may request Circulation staff to conduct an on-demand
and periodic search for the missing item.
If not located immediately, Circulation staff will check
the stacks at regular intervals and notify the requester
of the results via email or telephone. Users are encouraged
to place an Interlibrary Loan request for time sensitive
items
COURSE RESERVES
Place Materials On Course Reserves (Faculty
Only)
Course Reserves are supplementary materials that faculty make available
to their students in the Library. Examples of course materials include
books, journal articles, homework assignments, case studies, etc.
Faculty are requested to submit materials to be placed on Course Reserves
to the Library at least two weeks prior to the date that students will
need to access them. A "Course Reserves Request Form" must
be completed for each course.
