If an item you need is currently checked out to another borrower, library patrons have the option of recalling or placing a hold to request that the item be held for their use when it is returned.
Recalls:
All items are subject to recall under the following circumstances:
- after the initial loan (eg. 28 days for regular books, 14 days for Browsers, 7 days for videos, etc.)
- 155 day (5 month) loan periods are only guaranteed for 28 days.
- if needed for course Reserve
- if overdue
Items needed for Reserve or classroom use will be recalled immediately. All other items will be recalled after the initial loan expires.
Check-Out & Reserves Desk staff will issue recalls.
Distance Learners will receive a 3 day grace period on recalls.
Holds:
Holds may be placed on items in circulation which are requested by another patron but do not meet the recall criteria.
Place a Hold on Material You Need: If you find an item in our library catalog that is checked out to another patron, simply click the "I want it next" link to place a hold. Identify yourself with your Library ID number and password. Check-Out & Reserves Desk staff will notify you when the item is returned, and it will be held for you at the Check-Out & Reserves Desk for five working days. Is your phone number current under Personal Circulation Information?
Fines: Fines for items which have been recalled accrue at the rate of $2.00 per item per day, with a $15.00 per item maximum.
Recall fines apply to all users.
