Borrowing Privileges
Members of the Alumni Online Library living in the continental United States and Hawaii may now check out circulating books as part of the Online Library membership. The $50 annual membership fee also entitles members to access netLibrary ebooks and Ebsco journal article databases. If you are not an Online Library member, you can get more information from the Alumni Relations web page.
Identification
Alumni Relations will notify the Central Library when a new member has joined the Online Library. The Central Library will then create an alumni borrowing card with a barcode. This card will be valid for one year and entitles each user to check out all circulating materials. Remote alumni will use the Books Direct form on the Services page of the Library Web Site: http://www.nu.edu/library.
Loan Periods
Books circulate for two weeks (14 days) if the book is checked out in person at the Central Library. Remote Alumni within the continental United States and Hawaii check out books for 14 days plus shipping time. A maximum of 5 books may be checked out at one time.
Renewals
Alumni will be allowed to renew each book one time. All overdue fines must be paid before a book is renewed. After the book has been renewed once it must be returned to the Central Library for reshelving.
Overdue Books and Fines
A late fee of 40 cents per day is assessed for each overdue item. Once the fine reaches $5.00, you may not check out more books until the fine is paid. The maximum late fee that will be assessed is $10.00 per book. The first notice of an overdue book is sent when the item is 7 days overdue, the second notice at 14 days; and a bill for replacement costs at 30 days. All borrowers will be assessed replacement cost plus a $10.00 processing fee for each item not returned. If the material is returned, replacement and processing fees will not be assessed, but the maximum late fee of $10.00 will apply.
Lost or Damaged Books
All Borrowers are responsible for repair or replacement costs for books lost or returned damaged. The replacement cost is $30.00 plus a non-refundable $10.00 processing fee.
