Borrowing Limit: 5 items.  When you have found a book you would like to borrow, take it to the Librarian or the student worker on duty, and s/he will check the book out to you.  Some books have a CD or floppy disk that go with them; these count as separate items (i.e., four books and one CD would be your five allowed items).  If you have never checked out a book from our Library before, we will first need to create a Library user account, which should only take about two minutes.

Loan Period: the earlier of 3 weeks or the end of the quarter.  The date the item is to be returned is stamped on a reminder slip for you.
*Please note: all materials must be returned by the last Friday of classes of each quarter.
