Overdue fines: There are no fines for overdue items. The library will email overdue notices to the borrower once the item is past its due date.

Use of Interlibrary Loan by groups: Materials are for the borrower's personal use only. Because of copyright and ILL code regulations, it is never advisable to obtain ILL materials for group use (i.e. - for Reserves, seminars, labs, classes or committees).
