Auditing and Certification Program students must present a current Drew ID card at the Circulation Desk in order to be registered as a library user. Borrowers are responsible for all items charged on their accounts. Reference and periodical items do not circulate.
Total items a borrower may charge and loan periods
Participants in these programs may borrow 10 items at a time for a loan period of 30 days. No renewals or recall privileges are granted. Historical Preservation Certificate candidates are granted Interlibrary Loan privileges.
Fines
Students are subject to overdue fines of 10 cents a day. The Maximum overdue fine per item is $10.00. Overdue notices are sent as a courtesy, due date slips are placed in each book at check-out. Items overdue for 40 days are automatically assumed to be lost and a per item replacement charge is placed against the borrower's library account. Replacement fee is $75 per book. Assumed lost items must be brought to the Circulation Desk for discharging. Once returned the $75 fee per item is reduced to a lesser amount. If the library has purchased a replacement copy, the $75 fee is not reduced.
Suspension of Borrowing Privileges
When an item becomes assumed lost all library borrowing privileges are automatically suspended until either the book has been returned or the replacement fee paid.
Fines for failure to return a recalled item
Items are subject to recall 20 days after the original charge out date. However, items needed for Reserves may be recalled at any time. Recalls are requests by current Drew faculty, staff, students or Reserves for material charged to another borrower. The maximum overdue recall fine for failure to return a recall placed by a patron is $20.00. Maximum overdue recall fine for failure to return a Reserves recall is $45.00. If a Reserves recall is not returned promptly and the library purchases a new copy for Reserves, an additional replacement fee of $100.00 will be charged.
