Renewals
and Lost Materials
|
- Library
materials
(with the exception of Videos and DVDs)
can be renewed
online via the library catalog under My
Account or by contacting
the Circulation Desk at 760-245-4271,
ext. 2262. Renewals must be made
on or before the item's due date. A
maximum of two renewals are allowed
unless another patron has placed a
hold on an item. Individuals
are responsible for all materials checked
out under their name.
- All
questions about previously checked out
materials or current fines can
be answered by contacting the Circulation
Desk.
- The
library will send a notice as a reminder
of overdue materials. Patrons will be
billed for the cost of replacing
any item or items,
plus a processing fee for all unreturned
materials. Processing
fees and fines
are
nonrefundable.
Transcripts, grades, and registration
clearance will be held until your status
with the library is cleared.
- Changes
in addresses or telephone numbers must
be reported to the library. A claim
of failure to receive an overdue notice
will not prevent an individual from
being billed for fines and lost materials.
|
The
library maintains a collection of course
reserve materials that consist of textbooks,
videos, and supplemental materials related
to assigned coursework. Items are kept at
the Circulation Desk and are placed on reserve
at the request of the instructor. The library
does not purchase textbooks outside of the
copies placed on reserve by instructors.
The
instructor determines the loan period for
reserve materials. Generally materials
must be used in the library on a two-hour
loan
period. To find if a textbook or other
materials are available for your class,
search the
library catalog under Course
Reserves. It is best to search
by Course Number (ex. ENGL 101) in that
an
instructor
other than yours may have placed the book
on reserve.
VVC
students who are registered with the library
may apply for an IEALC (Inland Empire Academic
Libraries Cooperative) card at the circulation
desk. The purpose of the card is to provide
students borrowing privileges from other member
libraries for special research needs that extend
beyond the resources of the VVC collection.
The card is available only to students;
faculty and staff are not included in the agreement.
Students are solely responsible for all borrowed
materials and must abide by the local lending
rules of each library. Contact the Circulation
Desk (245-4271, ex.2262) for further information.
Black & white
photocopy machines are available in Room
208 on the upper floor of the library. Photocopies
are 10¢ per copy.
Photocopy cards may also be purchased from
a vending machine in the copy room for an
initial
cost of $1.00 (50¢ is automatically
deducted for the cost of the card). You
can increase
the amount on the card by placing it in
the same machine and adding dollars. The
same
card can be used indefinitely.
Microfiche/film
reader-printers are also available on the
upper floor of the library. There is a 10¢ per
page fee for printed copies. Dimes only.
Five
study rooms are available on the lower floor
for groups of 2 to 6. Room 211 on the upper
floor is available for groups of 4 or more.
One member of the group must sign up at the
Circulation Desk. Rooms may be reserved
for up to 3 hours and up to 1 week in advance.
No food or drink is allowed in the library.
Note: Study rooms must be vacated 15 minutes
prior to the
library closing.
There
are 30 computers with access to the library's
Web site, catalog, electronic
databases, and Internet. Library computers
are limited to research purposes only. Email,
chat rooms, games, etc. are prohibited.
Printing from all computers is currently
free. Students who need to type papers or
complete assignments on Blackboard should
use the computers in the Advanced Technology
Center (Bldg. 21). Wireless internet
access is available in the library
for students using laptop computers
with wireless
network interface cards. For further information
please refer to the library's Computer
and Electronic Resources Use Policy.
