Holds and Recalls |
|
Recalls are actions taken by a library user who
wants to borrow a book that is currently on loan to another borrower. When a
book is recalled, the current borrower is notified of the revised due date. The
current borrower must return the book by this date or suffer the consequences of
overdue fines. Faculty members are not exempt from the recall rules.
A hold
can be placed for a book that is on the shelf. Library staff will retrieve holds
during normal working hours and send them to your office through campus mail.
You can review the status of your hold requests by looking at your patron
record.
If you cannot find a book in the stacks, place a hold on the item. This will
notify the staff to search for the book.

Interlibrary Loan |
|
UI Faculty may borrow and renew materials through
ILL. Books will be shipped to your office while articles will be sent to your
email account.
Certain materials may not be borrowed:
- Textbooks required for class
- Materials to be used for course reserve, class or group use
- Complete issues of periodicals
- Complete volumes of bound periodicals
- Reference, indexes, or rare books
- Materials that are expensive or difficult to ship
- Most genealogy-related materials
The UI Library pays fees for most ILL services. Exceptions are as follows:
- Rush charges or special handling requests
- Lost book replacement or fines assessed by owning library
- Administrative fees assessed for overdue materials
ILL privileges will be suspended for individuals who abuse the system by
failing to return materials by the due date or for having outstanding fines from
the library.
