Drew alumni/ae who wish to borrow books should visit the Alumni Office to obtain an alumni/ae card. Bring this card to the Circulation Desk and complete a registration form. Your alumni card will serve as your library card once you are registered by Circulation. Alumni/ae are granted free borrowing privileges for one year. Borrowing privileges are renewable if the account is free of fines, overdue books, or other account issues. 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 renewal or recall privileges are granted.
Fines
Alumni borrowers 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. 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 book 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 all library borrowing privileges are suspended until either the book has been returned and all fines and fees are paid.
Fines for failure to return a recalled item
Recalls are requests by current Drew faculty, staff, students, or Reserves for material charged to another borrower. Maximum fine for failure to return an item recalled by another patron is $20.00. Maximum 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.
