LIBRARY POLICIES
• Books: Students may check out books for four weeks. Other than McNaughton popular reading titles, they may be renewed for two additional four-week periods, provided that another patron has not requested the book. Students engaged in long-term research projects may arrange longer loan periods with a staff member. Renewing items can be done by either bringing the book to the Circulation Desk or by providing the barcode number over the phone (434) 223-7227. There is no limit on the number of books that students can check out. However, users are strongly encouraged to return books when they are finished so that others may have access to them.

• Media Items: Feature films, documentaries and CDs are available for checkout, as are items such as digital still and video cameras, audio recorders, and tripods. They circulate to students for three days, and may be renewed twice in person or by phone by calling (434) 223-6293. Because of the demand for our media collections, we ask that you check out no more than five items at a time. Users are strongly encouraged to return items that they are not using so that the campus community at large can have access to them.

• Overdue items: There are no fines for overdue books or media items. However, students with overdue items are not permitted to check out additional items until the overdue items are either returned or renewed in person or by phone as described above. Students with overdue items will be allowed to check out materials on course reserve. All users will be expected to pay replacement costs on all lost materials. Students who leave campus at the end of an academic year without returning library items will be billed for replacement costs. These charges may also be billed to student accounts.

• Course Reserves: Reserve items are loaned according to an instructor's specifications (most are in-library use only, while some are overnight reserves). Reserve books are available at the Circulation Desk on the second floor of the library; reserve videos are available at the Help Desk in the Fuqua Technology Commons.

• Research and Technology Help: You can get assistance with any type of research question, help finding books and articles, and more on the main floor during regular business hours. Also, you can get help with Microsoft Office products, Blackboard, and other technology issues in the Fuqua Technology Commons during regular business hours. Come on in-we are always happy to help you.

No smoking or other use of tobacco products of any kind is allowed. Generally a quiet atmosphere is desirable--please respect others who are working diligently.
