Exceptions
You can borrow Reference items for 1 week.
You can borrow Course Reserves items for 3 hours. These must be used only in the library.
Your borrowing time will be shortened if someone else requests an item you have. You will receive an email with the subject line "Due Date Change." You need to return it by the new due date, or you will be charged a fine.
