Circulation Dept.

Holds and Recalls

Hold and Recall requests may be placed on items currently on loan to another patron. Hold and Recall requests may be placed in writing at the Circulation Desk.

For a Hold, once the requested item is returned, the requestor will be called, letting them know the item is now available. Hold items will be held for 10 days. For a Recall, the customer who currently has the item will be called, asking that they return it before the original due date. Recalled items will then be held for 10 days and the requestor called stating that the item is now available.

Hold or Recall requests cannot be processed if the requesting customer has a block on their library record or is not currently enrolled/active.

Searches

If you are unable to locate an item on the shelves, come check at the Circulation Desk. The item may be waiting to be shelved or it may be missing. Circulation staff will search for the item and let you know the outcome. If they are unable to locate the item you can request it from another library through the ILL Dept.

Fines and Bills

No fines are levied for overdue library materials. Customers will be billed by the Circulation Department for the full replacement cost of unreturned materials. After five weeks they will be blocked from checking out material and the replacement cost will be billed to their university account.

Lost and Found

The Circulation Dept. has a lost/found area for items left in the library. If you find items in the library bring them to the Circulation Desk.

For further information please contact Mary Jane Bloomquist, Circulation Librarian, at (337) 475-5718 or Circulation Staff (337) 475-5723.
