Notes

  • For items with loan periods that automatically renew, the loan period is the minimum time the item may be borrowed before it is recalled. An item will be recalled if someone else places a request on it.  
  • Faculty may borrow program-related material for a semester, subject to recall after 3 weeks.  
  • All loan periods are shortened to the user's account expiry date if the account expires during a loan period.
