C. SEFLIN Library Card Rules and Regulations

1. The holder must present the card at each library where special use and borrowing privileges are desired. The lending library will make arrangements (issue a card or equivalent) which must be presented each time materials are borrowed.

2. The SEFLIN library card issued by the home campus of a person and the card issued (or arrangements) for checkout privileges made by the lending campus library are valid for only one academic semester or term at a time.  Expired cards will not be honored.

3. A cardholder should utilize his/her home campus’ library materials or services before requesting materials or services from another participating library.  The purpose of the card is to give access to materials or services not available at one’s home campus’ library.

4. The rules for library use and checkout privileges are those set by the lending campus’ library.  Those rules may include, but are not limited to, number of books issued, type of materials loaned, length of loans, renewal policies, charges for overdue or lost materials, and fees or deposits.  Violation of the rules or delinquency in borrowing renders the cardholder ineligible for continued use or issuance of another card at a later date unless the directors of both the home and lending campus’ libraries consent.

5. Borrowed materials must be returned directly to the campus’ library from which they were borrowed.

6. The lending library will report unrecovered books or damages to the home campus of the borrower/user.  The home campus will impose its own sanctions upon the borrower/user for library delinquency or material damage.

- Please contact the lending campus’ library for specific use/borrowing rules and regulations.
