Date Due
At the time of loan, the borrower will be notified of the due date for each item. The borrower is responsible for meeting the due date. A courtesy overdue reminder will be sent, either by mail or email. Failure to receive an overdue reminder, for whatever reason, does not remove the responsibility of the borrower for meeting each due date. You can have your notices sent to your Internet address by contacting any library Circulation desk.
Overdues
For standard loan materials not returned or renewed within 30 days of the due date, the borrower is assessed a $10 overdue billing fee and a replacement charge. Only the replacement charge is cancelled when the item is returned. Once the fee has been paid, the item may be renewed.
A borrower with outstanding charges is denied borrowing privileges. Certain other University privileges may also be denied.
An appeals process is available. Appeals must be made within one year of billing. See the Billing Appeal Procedure for more information.
Recalls
Items which are checked out may be requested by other borrowers at any time. All items are subject to recall. This policy applies all year long: breaks, sabbaticals, vacations, etc. You will be notified of any recalls. Recall of an item may shorten the original loan period. Items not returned by the Recall Due Date will be assessed a $10.00 fee and a replacement charge for each item. Only the replacement charge will be cancelled when the item is returned. Recall late fines are strictly enforced.
Renewals
Items may be renewed as often as necessary unless recalled by another borrower. Items recalled by another borrower cannot be renewed. Renewals may be done at any ASU Library by bringing the items to Circulation. Renewals may also be processed over the phone (965- 2595) or over the Internet on the Library Network.
Community Card borrowers may make up to two (2) renewals for each item. Certain items, e.g., reserve, videos, are not renewable. Refer to the Telephone Renewal Policy for more information.
Requesting West Campus Materials
If the item is at the West campus, fill out a circulation request card and submit it to the Circulation Desk or request the item through the Library Online Catalog. Most items that are on the shelves are delivered to the Tempe campus within two business days. Requests for videos can be made at the Circulation desk and requests for journal articles are made through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Most materials from the West campus circulate for standard loan periods.
Proxy Cards
ASU faculty, staff, or students may authorize another person as a "proxy" to use their ASU ID for all library transactions. This allows the Proxy to use your ASU ID to check out library materials in your name. Proxies may be Teaching Assistants, spouses, family members, etc. Forms are available at any library Circulation desk.
A Proxy Card will be issued. For security purposes, the card will be sent to you, not to your Proxy. At the time of checkout, the proxy must present both the Proxy Card and his/her own photo ID.
Community Cards
The University Libraries are open to all users. An individual not affiliated with ASU who is an Arizona resident and meets certain age requirements, may borrow library items by purchasing a Community Card. Community Cards must be purchased at Hayden Library. There is a non-refundable annual fee of $100.00 for the basic community card. Borrowing privileges are not transferable. Refer to the Community Card Loan Policy for more information.
