Welcome back Faculty

Welcome back faculty! We would like to update you on some new procedures.

New library hours are as follows: Sunday 2 p.m. - 10 p.m., Monday - Wednesday 8 a.m. - 10 p.m., Thursday 8 a.m. - 8 p.m., Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Faculty will now be able to access your GALILEO password, renew books, and save search queries through your "My Account." Faculty may check out books from the first day of the Fall Semester. The books will not be due back until the last day of the Summer semester.

After 28 days, if someone requests the book, it will be recalled an must be returned to the library.

Everyone must now pay late fines. If the book is late there will be a $.25 charge per day up to $10.00. Books go into lost status 29 days after the due date. If the book is not returned there will be a $35 processing fee and a replacement cost. Library privileges will be revoked and your account blocked until the fees are paid or books have been returned.

If your library account is blocked, you can still access GALILEO through Desire to Learn without a password.

We accept recommendations for purchasing library materials, but we will not purchase textbooks. We will accept materials to be placed on course reserve; however, materials that have evaluative copyrights cannot be placed on reserve. There are other instances we cannot put materials on reserve; ask Beverly Eskridge for more information.

If you have any questions regarding these or other services, please contact your personal librarian: http://hightowerclclibrary.blogspot.com/2017/05/personal-librarians.html
