Registration

  • All are pre-registered in the Library system.
  • A current, valid Dartmouth College ID is required to establish eligibility for library services.
  • There is no registration fee for visiting faculty.
  • Privileges expire when the faculty member has left Dartmouth. Privileges cannot be renewed until all fines and other obligations have been cleared.
  • The privileges are non-transferable and may be used only by the person to whom they are issued.
  • The Dartmouth ID establishes eligibility for the services described below and must be presented when requested by a library staff member.

Library Access

  • Onsite access is offered to all collections in all Dartmouth libraries, with a valid Dartmouth ID.

Borrowing Privileges

  • Loan period is 365 days, unless otherwise specified by the individual library.

Recalls

  • Any registered user may recall material that is currently checked out. ALL materials, checked out by ANY patron, are subject to recall.
  • You may request a recall at the Circulation Desk. We will notify the current user the following day that this item now has a new, earlier, due date. Once it has been returned, we will send you a Hold Pick-up Notice, letting you know that the item is on the hold shelf at the Circulation Desk.
  • Each user is entitled to keep an item for a minimum amount of time, calculated from the original check outdate, before it is eligible for recall:

                  Books - 14 days

                  Journals - 1 day

  • Exception: Items recalled by the Reserve Services Desk are due back to the Circulation Desk IMMEDIATELY.  Resource sharing ( BorrowDirect and Interlibrary Loan ) items are due back within 5 days. Failure to return resource sharing recalled items promptly may result in blocked library privileges.
  • If you receive a recall notice, it will name a new due date. The item must be returned to the Circulation Desk by that date, or overdue fines will be charged. Overdue fines on recalled items are $1.00 per day, per item.
  • Recalled items CANNOT be renewed.
  • This recall policy remains in effect throughout the year, INCLUDING INTERSESSION. To avoid overdue fines and /or blocked accounts return your books before you leave campus.

Renewals

  • Most library materials may be renewed up to three times via phone, email, Internet, mail, or in person. They do not have to be returned to the library.
  • Exceptions include recalled materials, course reserve materials, and non-print materials from the Jones Media Center and other collections. These materials must be physically returned to the library and may be eligible to be checked out a second time if another patron is not waiting for the material.
  • Materials with a 365-day loan period can only be renewed after 270 days from the circulation/renewal date.
  • The phrase "Too Soon to Renew" will be displayed next to an item if it cannot be renewed.
