Borrowing Books
Books may be borrowed from McGrath Library for three weeks, excluding reference books, which are for library use only. A valid student ID is required to check out books. Students may not check out more than five books per day or have more than 15 books out at the same time.
Renewals
Books may be renewed only once. This may done in person or by telephone. Books will not be renewed if another student has placed a hold on them.. If the book you are looking for is not on the shelf, check at the reference desk. If the book has been checked out, you may ask that it be held for you on its return. We will notify you when it is available.
Fines
Fines for overdue books are 25 cents per book per day. You will be notified if another student has requested the overdue book. When the book has a hold on it and is overdue, the fine increases to $1 per day if the book is not returned after you have received notification. Borrowing privileges are withdrawn for students owing $5 or more in fines, or whose books are two or more weeks overdue. Grades are withheld and transcripts are not sent out for students with outstanding library debts.
McGrath Library Color Printer Policy
Students are able to print a limited number of color pages to support their academic coursework, subject to the Librarian’s approval.
All students and community members wishing to use the Color Printer must see a Librarian for permission to do so.
Acceptable printing jobs will be determined by the librarian.
Unacceptable requests include: printing more than one copy; printing documents not related to coursework (e.g. event flyers); printing when color is not necessary to understanding the content even if the document is for coursework.
Students may not be required by faculty to print lecture slides in color for class notes (Questions: Contact the Electronic Resources & Systems Librarian, Chloe Santangelo, ext. 365., csantangelo@hilbert.edu )
