To begin borrowing books again, you must renew your library card at the circulation desk in the library.
The basic loan period for all items in the collection is 30 days.
Each student is entitled to one 30 day renewal after the initial loan.
To find out how to renew books online, please check out the "Renewing Items" guide on the side menu for detailed instructions. While you are logged into your library account, you can also place "holds" on items and the library staff will put them aside at the front desk for you.
Fines accrue for all patrons the day following the initial check-out period.
All checked out items are due by the end of their loan period.
Interlibrary Loan:
If you would like to use our interlibrary loan service while researching here, then please place a request via the circulation desk.
We will be more than willing to place as many copy requests for articles or chapters as you need.
Regarding book loans, we ask that you place a reasonable amount of requests and have your loans back two days before their due date.
If you want to borrow something from the Corrigan Memorial Library and are unable to get here, then please place a book request at your local public library. Be sure that your local public library requests the item from us (OCLC Symbol: ZSN) and that they put your name on the request.
Photocopying and Scanning:
There are two photocopiers in the library, which both make copies and can scan & email. There is one on the first floor in the reference reading room and one on the third floor.
There is no charge for photocopying or scanning.
Please be judicious in your usage of this service.
Computers and Printing:
There are eleven public computers available in the library. There are two in the basement, eight on the first floor, and one on the third floor.
The library does not charge for printing. The four computers on the first floor and the one on the third-floor print to one of the two network printers located near the circulation desk. The two basement computers print to the network printer in the basement.
Databases and online full-text periodicals can be accessed during your visit to the library. However, we do not permit alumni to have off-campus access to our electronic resources.
