Borrowing Privileges: Graduate

LOAN PERIOD

Books are loaned for one semester.  An email due date notification is sent at the time of check out.  There is no limit on the number of items that may be checked out. All checked out material is subject to recall by another user.

Special collections may have shorter loan periods:

• AVM collection (DVD/Video) - 5 day loan-no renewal

• Browsing collection - 3 week loan-no renewal

• Ciszek collection - 3 week loan -no renewal

• Manresa collection- 3 week loan -no renewal

• Children’s collection - 3 week loan

• Reference collection - 1 week loan unless noted as Library Use Only.

PERIODICALS

Periodicals do not circulate to students.

Holds and Recalls

• A combined maximum of ten active holds and/or recalls at one time are allowed per user.
• All circulating items are subject to recall by other users; the first user is guaranteed 10 days usage. (Material needed for Class Reserve must be returned immediately.) When a recall is issued the original due date is canceled and a new due date is established.
• The patron with the material is sent a recall notice requesting return of the material within seven days. If the item is not returned within that time, an Overdue Recall notice is sent and borrowing privileges are suspended until the item is returned.
• Users with recalled items that are more than one week overdue will be billed for the replacement cost of the item plus a non-refundable $25.00 billing fee.
• Ignoring a recall notice is a serious breach of library etiquette. The recall policy is designed to insure equal access to the collection for all patrons.

Books may be renewed for an additional semester starting fourteen days before the due date.

OVERDUE PROCEDURES

1. An overdue notice is sent via Marquette University e-mail 5 days after the due date requesting return of the material. Instructions for online renewing is included in this notice.
2. A 2nd notice is sent 4 weeks after the due date detailing the charges that will be incurred if the material is not returned or renewed within two weeks. Once this notice is sent, further borrowing is prohibited until the overdue material is returned or renewed and the material must be brought to the library for renewal.
3. Material not returned or renewed within 6 weeks of the due date is considered lost. A bill for the replacement cost of the material plus a $15.00 billing fee is issued. The replacement cost of the book will be credited if the material is returned within four months of the due date. Fines should be paid at the Library Services Desk by cash or check.
4. All overdue notices are sent as a courtesy via Marquette University e-mail and non-receipt of a notice does not exempt the borrower from overdue penalties.
