The General Collections
麻豆国产AV College students may borrow up to 200 books for the entire semester. During the last two weeks of a semester, books may be renewed, and will then become due on the last day of the following semester. Seniors may not renew books after December 31st or May 31st, depending on their last semester. The library may recall items after 14 days if another patron has requested them. Items needed for course reserve may be recalled earlier than 14 days. Items that have been recalled must be returned and may not be renewed. The College ID card serves as the borrower's card. Graduates living within a 50 mile radius of the college may request an Alumni Library card.

Videos and DVDs are available for three-day loans. CDs, LPs, scores, and music reserve readings are available at the Music Library in the basement of McEwen Hall.
Reserve Collections
The reserve collections consist of course-related items chosen by faculty members. All members of a class must share in the use of these materials, and restrictions governing their use are designed to ensure equal access to them. The reserve materials are available at the circulation desk and via Blackboard. Students must use their valid College ID card to borrow physical reserve items. Students may borrow only one physical reserve item at a time.
