Anyone who has borrowing
privileges at the Health Sciences & Human Services Library must be registered
in the Circulation system. The Circulation Policies are presented and explained
to each borrower as she or he is entered into the system. A barcode is placed
on the person's identification card. This card must be presented before a transaction
may take place. Circulation Policy.
Patron Responsibilities
- Patrons who owe $50.00 or more in library
fines and/or fees will be denied borrowing privileges until the debt is reduced
to less than $50.00. A message will automatically appear in the Library's
on site Circulation system to this effect.
- Patrons are responsible for reporting
to Circulation any changes in their names, addresses, telephone numbers, or
borrowing status. Failure to do so does not alter obligations.
- Borrowers are responsible for items
borrowed from HS/HSL until the items have been discharged at HS/HSL.
- Patrons should report lost or stolen
borrowers' cards to Circulation immediately, so that the Library may block
use of the card.
- Patrons should keep track of due dates
for items they have checked out. The Library sends out overdue notices, but
this practice is a courtesy; the Library is not responsible for notifying
patrons that their items are overdue.
- Borrowers should return material promptly
by the due date or the renewal date. HS/HSL fines users who do not return
items by the due date. There is no grace period for overdue material.
- Borrowers should respond promptly to
all notices to help minimize the occurrence of overdue fines.
- Borrowers must clear all obligations
with the Library before leaving the UMB campus.
