Faculty and staff may check books out of the library for one semester, and may
renew the books for one additional semester. A faculty/staff identification card
must be presented to check out library materials. Overdue reminders are sent one
week after the material is due, and a subsequent reminder with the cost of the
material sent one week later, if the material still has not been returned.
Students may borrow books from the open stacks for four
weeks with one (1) renewal of twenty-eight (28) days. Other material may
circulate for shorter periods. A VALIDATED, BARCODED STUDENT ID IS REQUIRED
FOR BORROWING. Replacement costs will be assessed for lost books. The
accumulation of unpaid library fines and/or bills will result in suspension of
library borrowing privileges. Receipts are available when the item is returned
to the circulation desk.
Interlibrary Loan
Definition
PI Interlibrary Loan - those libraries, schools, or information centers that
request materials from the University of Maine at Presque Isle through the
established state, regional or national network of interlibrary loan or
authorized groups from those same institutions utilizing the Library for
research purposes.
Procedure:
If the UMPI Library does not have an item you need, we can usually get it
from another library. You can obtain an interlibrary loan request form at the
Circulation desk. You may also download the form from
this site or use the on-line interlibrary request form.
Please fill out the form as completely as possible: the more information
provided, the more certain the librarians will be able to get the item you need.
Return the completed form to the Circulation desk. The form may also be fax to
768-9644. When the item arrives you will be notified by campus mail or U.S.
postal service.
