Lost items:  Charges consist of the replacement cost of the item.  An item may be declared lost if, after reasonable notice has been sent, the item is not returned.  An item that is lost and paid for remains the property of the University Libraries and must be returned if found; a credit will then be given for the amount of the bill, minus any applicable overdue fines.

No fines are assessed for the late return of books and microforms that are due on June 1.  Patrons are billed through the Business Office.

 

Exceptions
Exceptions to the stated circulation policies may be made when justified by individual circumstances.  Please discuss special needs with the Music Librarian.

Proxy cards
Faculty members may authorize graduate assistants or staff members to check out materials for them.  The faculty member or assistant may obtain an application for a proxy card from the Main Library Circulation Department or any branch library.  The faculty member must fill out the application and assume financial responsibility for any materials checked out  in this manner.
