Circulation Policy |
|
Library Accounts
Library accounts are automatically set up for current Lake Erie College students, faculty, and staff at the beginning of each semester. Qualified patrons may check out library materials by providing their names and presenting ID at the Circulation Desk. |
Checking out Materials
All items borrowed from the library's circulating collections are due at the end of the current semester. This includes: books from the main collection; Educational Media Center materials; CD recordings, videotapes and DVD's. Books from the Reference and Law collections do not circulate, nor do magazines and bound periodicals.
EXCEPTION: patrons may check out reserve materials for use only on the library premises. |
Renewing Materials
All items borrowed from the library items must be returned at the end of each semester. There are no renewals. |
Recalling Items
Lake Erie College students, faculty and staff may request a recall notice be sent for items that are currently loaned out. Upon receipt of the recall notice, the patron holding the item is expected to return it to the library. |
Returning Loaned Items
Please return materials to the Circulation Desk at the front of the library. A book drop is available outside the library's front entrance for returning items when the library is closed. |
Responsibility for Borrowed Items
Once a patron borrows an item from the Library, that patron continues to be responsible for that item until it is processed back into the collection by Library staff. The Library does not acknowledge the transfer of an item from one patron to another. |
Fines
The library does not charge overdue fines, but all loaned items must be returned at the end of each semester. However, there is a $50 replacement fee for each lost item. |
