LOAN OF BOOKS
All books may be used within the reading rooms.
Books may be borrowed for use outside of the general library by (1)
members of the University; (2) former officers and professors who are
residing at the University; and (3) card holders. Cards are issued to residents
of Charlottesville and vicinity and to visitors to the University who
are guaranteed in writing by a member of the faculty who is of professorial
rank and who is not a member of the library staff.
Loans outside of Charlottesville or vicinity may also be made by interlibrary
loan through a local library or by arrangement with the Extension
Division of the University.
Reference books, rare books (including genealogical works), and current
numbers of magazines are not loaned out of the general library. Certain rare
editions which are desired for reading in connection with university courses
may be loaned on receipt of written request from the Professor in charge of
the course.
Books reserved for collateral reading may be borrowed for over night use
one-half hour before the closing of the library. Reserved books are not to be
removed from the reading room at other times unless written permission
has been granted by the professor for whom the books have been reserved.
During vacations between terms students may borrow books up to the
number of five by leaving a money deposit with the circulation librarians.
Books borrowed by members of the faculty of professorial rank or by instructors
who are not taking graduate courses are subject to return on request
by the librarians; all such loans should be returned before the first of June
of each year, and records previous to that date should be cleared before further
borrowing of books.
All other loans are for periods of two weeks or less, the date of return
being indicated on the slip within the back cover of the book. The borrower
should examine this date in each case, since at the end of each term the period
of loan is shortened and during the summer quarter the regular period is
one week.
All except professorial loans are subject to fines of ten cents a day for
late return, and also to the replacement cost of the book for loss or defacement.
On reserved books there is a fine of ten cents an hour but not to
exceed twenty-five cents for the first day, and fines of twenty-five cents a
day for each succeeding day or part of day. The maximum fines are three
Further accumulation of fines ceases as soon as the loss of a book is reported.
If any fines remain unpaid for fifteen days after the date on which they
are due, the Librarian shall, by resolution of the Rector and Visitors, notify
the Dean of the Department in which the student is entered, and such student
shall by him be required to cease his privileges as a student until the
library account has been satisfactorily settled.
