New Reserve Fines!

Reserve materials (the majority of which are course textbooks) are among the most heavily used tiles in the Library. Reserve materials directly support classroom learning and curricular goals.

In addition, provision of course textbooks assures access for all students to even the most expensive course texts.

In order to ensure fair and equitable access to these materials, the College has adopted a new system of fines for Reserve Materials.

General Reserve items (material that can be taken out of the Library) will now incur a $2 per day fine every day an item is late.

2-Hour reserve material (materials that are timed Library-Use-Only or Closed Reserve) will be charged $2 per hour for every hour the item is late.

This fine system has been put in place to encourage prompt return of high-demand and high-use items to make sure that Reserve materials are readily available.

Happy 2009

Although classes have not yet begun, Your Library staff are busy getting ready for another great semester.

Spring 2009 will see some big changes in the Library -- particularly with new reserve fines.

Also don't miss new changes in the Library -- including our new, more visible Group Study Rooms, our new international newspaper stand & more (check this space for more information).

Library staff look forward to welcoming students for 2009 to support research needs, course text books, group and individual study, internet access, leisure reading and more.
