The library uses email as the preferred method of communication. We send out various notices to you, the user, to inform you of the status of your library materials. Below is a list of the notices with a brief explanation of each.
Courtesy Notice - This notice goes out before your materials are due to remind you to either return them or renew them.
Overdue Notice - This notice goes out once your library materials have become overdue. Once you get this notice, you can no longer renew the materials online. If you still need to use the materials, please bring them to a circulation desk and renew them.
Recall Notice - This notice goes out when another library user or Library Reserves has requested a title that you have checked out. This item will not be renewable and will be given a new due date. Please return recalled titles as soon as possible.
Hold Pickup Notice - This notice goes out when a library item that you have requested is now available for you to pick up. This notice will indicate where you can pick up the item and you will have seven days to do so.
Hold Cancelation Notice - This notice goes out once we have been holding your item for seven days. We will no longer hold this item for you.
Bill Notice - This notice goes out once your library materials have been overdue for more than 28 days (shorter for recalls, reserves, special loans, etc.) The bill amount is the replacement cost for the item. The notice indicates that this amount is now due on your library account. If you return the item, the charge will be waived. (Overdue charges may still apply)
Statement of Charges - This notice goes out to alert you to any outstanding charges on your library account. Unresolved charges may be transferred to your college bill.
