Trustees may register for a borrowing card at the Circulation Desk.
Total items a borrower may charge and loan periods
Trustees may borrow a maximum of 60 books, due on February 14th. Reference and periodical items do not circulate.
Renewals
Trustees may renew an item four times; provided the item has not been recalled. There are three renewal options: use "My Library Account" online; submit a renewal form; bring the items to the Circulation Desk. No phone renewals. For more information about renewing online, see "Renewing a Book".
Fines
Overdue and fine notices are sent to Drew University email accounts. Follow-up courtesy calls are made to Drew campus phone numbers. The library does not charge (faculty or staff) daily overdue fees. However, items overdue for 40 days are automatically assumed to be lost and a per item replacement charge is placed against the borrower's 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 $10 per item administrative charge. 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.
Recalled Items
Items are subject to recall 30 days after the original charge out date. However, items needed for Reserve may be recalled at any time. Recalls are requests by current Drew faculty, staff, students or Reserves for material charged to another borrower. Recall notices are sent to Drew University email accounts. Follow-up courtesy calls are made to Drew campus phone numbers. Borrowers are subject to recall fines and replacement charges. Recall privileges are suspended if a recalled item is not returned promptly.
