Courtesy Reminder Notice Three days before a book is due, the libraries issue a courtesy reminder notice to inform patrons that they may return or renew their checked out material. In order to receive these notices the libraries must have your up-dated email address. In addition the libraries offer a nine day period of grace where you will not be charged overdue fees. On the tenth day, however, you will be charge for every day that the book been overdue, from the original due date until and including the day the book is returned. Please note that whether or not you receive the courtesy reminder notice you are responsible for returning your material by the designated due date and for paying any over due fees and replacement charges. Fines and the Replacement of Lost Items The replacement cost of a lost item is the current price of the item if it is available plus a $10.00 processing fee. A $10.00 binding fee will be added if only a paperback copy is available. If the item is out of print, the replacement cost of a lost item is the current market value of the item plus a $10.00 processing fee. As mentioned above, a $10.00 binding fee may also apply. CUNY faculty please note: fines and the replacement of lost items also apply to the faculty of the City University of New York. This decision is based on a 1979 Hunter College Senate resolution. Users are blocked from borrowing additional materials from all CUNY libraries if they have overdue materials and/or unpaid fines exceeding $5.00. A library stop will be placed on a student's record with the Registrar
once a bill is generated for unreturned library materials. The library
stop will remain until the material is returned and the fine is
paid or the replacement charges are paid. For additional information,
contact Mr. Harry
Johnson, Circulation Desk Manager, 772-4166. If a book is not on the shelf, you may request a search to be done
to locate it. Also, if a book is in circulation, you may place a
hold on it. Search and hold request cards can be obtained at the
Circulation Desk. When the book is located/returned, it will be
held at the Circulation Desk and a notice will be sent to you. If your Hunter College ID card is lost or stolen, notify the Circulation
Desk immediately in order to preventing the unauthorized use of
your ID card. You may return books and pay overdue fines at the Circulation Desks
at all Hunter College libraries for books borrowed at any CUNY library.
Students with Disabilities may request assistance in retrieving
library materials and making photocopies. An electronic security control system is located at the exit of all libraries and all bags are subject to inspection when exiting. Theft and mutilation of library materials is a serious offense.
Users attempting to leave the libraries with materials that have
not been properly charged and/or mutilated portions of library materials
may be referred to the Dean of Students for disciplinary action.
The Circulation Desk closes 15 minutes before the Main Library closes. All circulation material must be checkout before this time. Items brought to the Circulation Desk after it closes can be held at the Desk for 24 hours. For questions or problems, contact Harry
Johnson, Circulation Desk Manager, 772-4166; or David
Donabedian,
Head of Access Services, 772-4176. |
