Renewals
and Lost Materials
|
- Items
may be renewed at the Circulation
Desk in person or by telephone (245-4271,
ext. 2262), if the items are not
overdue
and have
not been requested by another person.
Videos and CD's are not renewable.
- All
questions about previously checked-out
materials or current fines can also
be answered by contacting the Circulation
Desk.
- Individuals
are responsible for all materials
checked out under their name. Items
may be renewed in person or
by telephone if they are not overdue
and have not been requested by another
patron. Note
that
videos, CD's
and reserves
cannot be renewed.
- 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 Reserve
Desk. 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 als 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.
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). For further information
please refer to the library's Computer
and Electronic Resources Use Policy.
