The TWU Libraries have made the following policy changes that you need to be aware of:
- All Blagg-Huey materials are now checked out at the Main Circulation Desk on the 1st floor. This is also where you will find all reserve materials;
- In order to better protect our materials and limit amounts owed the Libraries, we now block patrons (including TWU faculty and staff) from checking out materials (this includes InterLibrary Loans) when they accumulate fines totalling $5; and
- Library materials need to be returned at least once a year before being renewed for an additional year.
Faculty and staff are not charged fines (except for media, ILL, reserve and recalled items) but if their materials are lost they are responsible for the costs of replacing them. We have experienced some technical difficulties with renewal notices so we are asking all faculty and staff to check closely to make certain their materials do not become overdue. If materials become more than 30 days overdue the library system automatically classifies them as lost items. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Kris Reed for assistance.
