To renew an item, simply email us at [email protected], or use the chat box on this website.
If your item becomes overdue, you have a certain amount of time (typically 2 hours for reserves and technology, and 3 days for circulating books) to get the materials back to us before we suspend your borrowing privileges. After that time, your borrowing privileges are suspended until the materials are returned. Additionally, once an item is overdue, it cannot be renewed; you must return the item before checking it out again (assuming it is not in demand). Please consider your fellow students before keeping materials for longer than the borrowing period.
If an item remains overdue for 30 days, the item is considered lost, and the patron will be charged the replacement value of the item (as determined by the director of library services) plus a $15 replacement fee. These charges are submitted to the business office, and are included with tuition bills.
If a library item is lost or broken while you are borrowing it, you will be charged a replacement fee for that item (as determined by the director of library services) plus a $15 replacement fee. These charges are submitted to the business office, and are included with tuition bills.
Probably! If you're looking for something the library doesn't own, we are connected to thousands of other libraries, and we can request it on your behalf. This service is available to NECO students, faculty, staff, and residents.
