Fletcher Library at the West Campus

Loan Policy for ASU Faculty, Students & Staff

Loan periods are based upon your borrower type.
There is no limit on the number of books that can be checked out at one time.
There is a limit of ten (10) videos, laserdiscs or DVD's that can be checked out at one time.
Check your account regularly for overdues, recalls, etc.
Proxies are allowed.
Photo ID (preferably Sun Card) is required for each transaction.
Borrowing privileges and access to some online services (renewal, recall, etc.) are denied if you have fines/fees.
Report lost or stolen cards to the library.
Individual ASU Libraries may have different policies. Check with the specific library.

Overdue reminders are sent as a courtesy and failure to receive one, for whatever reason, does not remove your responsibility for meeting each due date or paying subsequent fines.
Most items have a thirty (30) day grace period.
A $10.00 fine plus replacement fee is charged for items not returned or renewed within the grace period.
Recalls, videos, and reserves do not have a grace period.
- Recall fines: $10.00 if not returned by recall due date.
- Video fines: $2.00 per day. Maximum fine $20.00.
- Reserve fines: $1.00 per hour, 24 hours per day. Maximum fine $20.00.
The replacement fee is canceled if/when the item is returned undamaged.

Recall policies apply to all users and are in effect all year long including breaks, sabbaticals, vacations, etc.
The library sends a notice when an item checked out to you has been requested by another borrower.
Recalls are due fifteen (15) days after the request. For some users this represents a shortened loan period.
A $10.00 fine plus replacement fee is charged for items not returned by the Recall Due Date.
The replacement fee is canceled if/when the item is returned undamaged.
Recall fines are strictly enforced.

Items may be renewed as often as needed provided they have no holds or recalls.
Most items may be renewed online from any location that has internet access if there are no blocks on your account. To renew online use the My Account link from the ASU Libraries Catalog.
Renewals may also be done by bringing the materials to any ASU Library Circulation Desk or by calling Telephone Renewal.
Reserves, media and microforms are not renewable. Bring them to any ASU Library Circulation Desk to inquire about extending your loan.
The majority of items from the Law Library are not renewable. Those that are may be renewed two (2) times.

Types of notices:
- Overdue: sent as a courtesy. Failure to receive will not negate fines.
- Recall: see above.
- Pick-up: items you requested are ready for pick-up.
- Holds Cancellation: item/s you requested are not available.
All notices can be sent to your e-mail.
E-mail notices replace paper notices.
You can add or change your e-mail address at any time by using the My Account link from the ASU Libraries Catalog.
