Circulation & Reserves
Checking Out Materials
To check out materials, students must have a Mav Card which is presented
at the Circulation Desk at the time of check-out. Loan periods are
as follows:
- Books and maps from the Main and GovDocs
collections circulate for three weeks. These may be renewed for
one additional three week period if no hold has been placed on
them.
- Media may be checked out for two hour
in-library use.
- Reserve material check-out periods vary
according to the designation established by the faculty member
placing them on reserve.
- Some library materials are limited to
in-library use only. Reference books, Special Collection materials
and periodicals are a few examples. Anyone may use these materials
as long as library rules and regulations are observed.
Fines for Overdue Materials
There is a five day
grace period during which overdue materials can be returned, however,
if not returned within this time period, the fine is retroactive
to the end of the original three week loan period. Should circulating
materials not be returned by the due date, there will be a fine
of $0.25 per day per item to a maximum of $10.00 per item. Should
the material be lost the maximum fine plus a replacement/processing
fee will be assessed for a total cost of $100.00 per item.
Reserves
Course reserve items are selected
by instructors to supplement class lectures.
Only one reserve item per patron may be checked out at a time.
No holds can be placed on reserve material, and there are no renewals
on reserve check-outs. Periods of time that materials may be put
on reserve:
- 1-Day and 2-Day materials may be checked
out of the library at any time of day to be returned at the same
time on the date due. Materials must be returned to the drop box
on the outside of the building if the library is closed on the
date due.
- 3-Day materials may be checked out at
any time and are due back at the same time on the date due. Again,
materials must be returned to the drop box on the outside of the
building if the library is closed on the date due.
- 2-Hour Library Use materials may not leave
the library (Not even when the library is closed holidays, nights
and weekends).
- Media items (video tapes, cassette tapes,
CD's,...) check out for two hour in-library use only. Media items
may be checked out for 5 days by faculty members only. Walkman's
and CD players are only intended for listening to reserve material
and do not check out on their own. They check out for two hours
with any reserve tape or CD.

Faculty Only - Course Reserve Forms and Instructions
Colorado Library Card
The
John U. Tomlinson Library honors the Colorado Library Card (CLC)
program for Colorado residents eighteen and older who present a
current library card from their home library with the CLC designation
and a Colorado driver's license or a Colorado picture ID as proof
of Colorado residency.
To check out materials from the library,
a CLC borrower must fill out and sign a registration form at the
Circulation desk in the library. A Mesa State College Library bar-code
will be attached to the borrower's library card. Checkouts are limited
to a total of two (2) books per patron. This includes materials
previously charged and not yet returned. Books may be checked out
for one three-week period with no renewals. Because of the quantity,
nature of, and demand for Bestseller books, these materials may
not be checked out by CLC borrowers. The Tomlinson Library also
requires that a CLC borrower be in good standing at his/her home
library.
Friends of the Library
The
Tomlinson Library Friends is an organization designed to encourage
both community support of the John U. Tomlinson Library and enjoyment
of the world of learning. The purpose of the Library Friends is
to promote a personal interest in the Library's collections and
their role in the academic program of the College, and to encourage
gifts and bequests to the Library of significant books, manuscripts
and library endowment.
Membership fees are $25.00/year. Membership
entitles individuals to check out a maximum of five (5) circulating
items from the library with one renewal period.
