In general, the loan period for books, microforms, etc. is between two to four weeks.The exact length of time is set by the lending library, not Saint Mary's.

Please be sure to return the item on or before the due date written on the blue paper strap attached to your loan. Failure to return these items in a timely manner strains our relationships with other libraries and may jeopardize our ability to borrow materials for the entire Saint Mary's community.

If you find that you will need an item past its due date, you may request a renewal. Renewals are not guaranteed! Further, only one renewal period (the length of which is determined by the lending library) will be granted per title. If you need a renewal, you must request it before the initial due date. Renewals will not be granted for overdue items.

All items are subject to recall by the lending libraries at any time. If your item is recalled, you must return it to the Interlibrary Loan Department as soon as possible. Your borrowing privileges may be revoked for non-return of interlibrary loan materials!
