WHAT IS "RECIPROCAL BORROWING"?
Reciprocal borrowing is an arrangement between
libraries that lets one library's patrons check out materials from another
library. Oakland Community College Libraries participate in a reciprocal
borrowing arrangement with several other area college libraries (see the
box to the right). That means OCC students and staff can go directly to those libraries and check
materials out.
WHO QUALIFIES FOR RECIPROCAL BORROWING?
Currently enrolled OCC students and OCC staff. At OCC, we accept staff and
students from partner libraries (see the box to the right).
WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS FOR THIS PRIVILEGE?
- You must show proper identification (see the box to the right).
- You must return the materials directly to the
other library yourself.
- What you may borrow, and for how long you may
borrow it, is determined by the other college library's policies. For example,
you may not be able to borrow certain media (e.g., video) or items on reserve.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM BORROWING FROM ONE OF OUR OWN OCC
LIBRARIES?
- Please remember that you are a guest at the
other library. For such reciprocal borrowing agreements to continue, materials
must be returned, and returned on time.
- Overdue fines and replacement costs will be
determined by the lending library. Often charges at other institutions are
higher than at OCC. These charges will be passed along to you.
 Overdue
fines will result in the loss of borrowing privileges from OCC libraries
until the charge is paid.
A
charge of $50.00 or more will prohibit registration for new classes until
the charge is paid. |
