Library

Sanctions

Borrowing privileges (including checking out, renewing, and placing holds) will be suspended under any one of the following circumstances:

• A student, faculty or staff member owes over $10.00.
• An external borrower has any unpaid fines or replacement charges outstanding.
• A patron is delinquent in the return of Interlibrary Loan materials.

Library borrowing privileges may also be suspended for failing to follow Library Regulations. For example:

• Removal of material from the library without respecting proper borrowing procedures.
• Mutilation or destruction of library materials.
• Willful misplacement of library materials.
• Marking or underlining library materials.

In these cases, at the discretion of the University Librarian privileges may be reinstated after a fee of $50.00 has been imposed and paid.

Appeals

Circulation staff members make every attempt to be fair when administering Library Regulations. Inquiries or disputes concerning the application of the library regulations should first fill out the Account Assistance form.

Unresolved disputes regarding overdue fines or replacement charges may be appealed, in writing, to progressively higher levels:

• Appeal Stage 1: Head of Access Services via the Fine Appeal Form
• Appeal Stage 2: University Librarian
• Appeal Stage 3: Senate Library Committee

The decision of the Senate Library Committee is final.
