Emeriti faculty are granted the same borrowing privileges as current Drew faculty and may continue to use their Drew Faculty/Staff ID Card as their library borrowing card and their Drew email address for contacts. Emeriti faculty must provide the Library's Circulation Department with post-retirement changes in contact information including addresses and telephone numbers.
Total items a borrower may charge and loan periods
Emeriti faculty may borrow a maximum of 200 books, due on February 14th each year. Reference and periodical items do not circulate.
Renewals
Emeriti Faculty may renew an item, provided the item has not been recalled. There are three renewal options but, if you regularly borrow, we encourage you to ensure that you retain access to the "My Library Account" feature in the online catalog so that books can be renewed online; call the Circulation Supervisor, Renewals, for this interface service. You may also submit a renewal form or bring the items to the Circulation Desk. We do not offer telephone renewals but you may also email the Circulation Supervisor of Renewals and he/she will contact regarding your renewal request.
Fines
Overdue and fine notices are sent to Drew University email accounts. Follow-up courtesy phone calls are often also made. The library does not charge daily overdue fees but items overdue for 35 days are assumed to be lost and a per item replacement charge is placed on the borrower's library account. Replacement fee is $100.00 per book. Assumed lost items must be brought to the Circulation Desk for discharging. Once an assumed lost item is returned, the $100.00 fee per item is reduced to a lesser amount. If the library has purchased a replacement copy, the $100.00 fee is not reduced.
Suspension of Borrowing Privileges
When an item becomes assumed lost, library borrowing and recall privileges are suspended until all assumed lost books are returned and/or all replacement fees are paid.
Recalled Items
Recalls are requests by current Drew faculty, staff, students or Reserves for material charged to another borrower. Items are subject to recall 20 days after the original charge out date. However, items needed for Reserves may be recalled at any time. Recall notices are sent to Drew University email accounts. Follow-up courtesy calls are also often made. All patrons are subject to recall fines and replacement charges. Recall privileges are suspended if a recalled item is not returned promptly.
Recalling an item
To recall an item, complete a recall card at the Circulation Counter. You will be notified when the item has been returned and is on hold for you.
