the item has been returned. It will be held at the Circulation
Desk for one week. |

on reserve at the request of the course instructor
to ensure each student will have access to assigned
or recommended readings or items. These items
may be on a one-hour to three-hours, one-day to
three-days, or one-week to two week reserve. The
Reserve Collection is located at the Circulation
Desk. The books are grouped by professor name
or course. All items must be requested and checked
out from the Circulation Desk. All items on reserve
are listed in TomCat. All Reserve items
must be returned to the Circulation Desk. |

| Overdue Items and Fines |
| If items are not returned by their
due dates, a notice will be sent. Overdue fines do not apply to books, but fines for overdue audio and video items are $1 per day. Until items become 30 days overdue, they can be renewed online, by phone, or in person. Replacement charges are applied when an item becomes 30 days overdue. There will be a $10 replacement processing fee in addition to the replacement cost for each item. These fees are removed if the item is returned. |
