Interlibrary
Loan services are available to the Sisters
of the Holy Cross with a valid Cushwa-Leighton
Library card.
Most
materials may be renewed online using the account number
from your library card at "My
Account" for another loan period unless another
person has requested them. Overdue reminders are sent
primarily via e-mail.
All
circulating materials, with the exception of course
reserve materials, are subject to being recalled for
use by another patron if they have been in circulation
a certain length of time. A recall may be issued for
books after they have been in circulation for a minimum
of 7 days.
It
is your responsibility to return library materials
on time. Library materials that are not
returned or renewed by the due date are subject
to overdue notices and service charges. Overdue
reminders will be sent primarily via e-mail.
Failure to receive overdue reminders does not
exempt you from the due date.
Items
not returned after 30 days from the due date
will be presumed lost. A lost book
fee of $60.00 will be automatically assessed.
This charge includes a $40.00 book replacement fee*
and a $20.00 processing fee.
A
detailed bill will be sent to Sister of the Holy
Cross with the expectation that prompt payment will
be made for the replacement of lost materials. Checks
should be made to "Saint Mary's College" and
sent to the library director for processing. Unpaid
library charges may result in patron borrowing privileges
being restricted until the matter is resolved. Materials
found and returned to the Library within in one year
after it has been billed will have the replacement
fee refunded.
Questions
about this policy should be directed to the Collection
Management Supervisor.
Theft
and mutilation of library materials are state offenses, Indiana
Code 35-43-4-3.5, and, therefore, are matters for
College disciplinary action. Inspection of books, briefcases,
backpacks, and handbags may be requested to ensure
that library materials are properly checked out.
