    \n
  1. Documents which have not been cataloged and are not barcoded.<\/li>\n

    Check Out Policy<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]\n
      \n
    1. The circulation period for government documents (those that can be checked-out) is seven (7) days<\/strong>. The Government Documents Librarian holds the authority to determine which documents may circulate and which do not.<\/li>\n
    2. For documents that are barcoded<\/strong> and are not stamped \u201cThis item does not circulate,\u201d
      \nthe student or faculty member does not need the approval of the Government Documents Librarian<\/strong>. He or she should take the document to the Circulation Desk for checkout.<\/li>\n
    3. For documents that do not have a barcode<\/strong>, the Government Documents Librarian will barcode the item and create a brief record in SIRSI thus allowing the item to be checked out under normal conditions.<\/li>\n
    4. Because of our depository status, the Library is obligated to check-out those government documents which have circulating status to any adult (18 years or older) who requests to borrow an item. <\/strong>For any person who does not have faculty, student, Dancing Rabbit, Friends, alumni or other accepted borrowing privileges of Roberts-LaForge Library, the following policy applies:\n

      2. Special guests must present a Driver\u2019s License or state ID to the Government Documents Librarian as well as a Circulation Staff member at the time of check-out.<\/li>\n
      3. These special guests are limited to checking out one item at a time.<\/strong><\/li>\n
      4. The borrower and Government Documents Librarian should take the document to the Circulation Desk for check-out. The Circulation staff will create a \u201cSpecial Guest\u201d account for the borrower and follow approved procedures in checking out materials.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      5. It is the responsibility of the Circulation Department to notify the Government Documents Librarian of overdue items checked out by special borrowers.<\/li>\n
      6. It is the responsibility of the Government Documents Librarian to contact special guests who have the materials overdue.<\/li>\n
      7. The Circulation Department will send overdue notices and invoices to patrons who are registered in the library system and whose overdue notices and invoices are generated by the system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
