RENEWALS
All items except microforms, laptops, cameras and reserve items may be renewed. Items with "holds" cannot be renewed. The number of renewals per item is:
- Faculty / Staff – 1 renewal
- Students – 2 renewals
HOLDS
A patron may request a checked-out item by placing a hold on that item. When the item is returned, a notice of availability will be sent to the person who placed the hold. The item may be picked up at the Circulation Desk. After seven days, items not picked up will be returned to the shelves (or made available to the next person who has it on hold). All circulating items, except reserve materials, laptops, and cameras may have holds placed on them. To qualify for a hold, the circulating item must have a status of "Charged," "Missing," or "In Processing."

LOST ITEMS
Any item that is more than 30 days overdue is considered lost. Patrons are billed $80.00 for each lost item. This includes $50.00 for each lost item plus a $15.00 service charge, plus a $15.00 overdue fine. If the "lost" item is returned, the replacement cost ($50.00) and service charge ($15.00) are dropped (unless the bill has been turned over to a collection agency), but the overdue charge remains.
COLLECTION AGENCY
After approximately 90 days, bills of patrons owing $50.00 or more are sent to a collection agency. Once bills are placed with the collection agency, the $50.00 credit for each lost item returned to the Library is reduced to $37.50.
EMAIL NOTICES
Courtesy notices are provided to students, faculty and staff and sent to MSU email accounts. They are generally sent several days before an item is due, however, the library does not guarantee they are always available due to server down time and/or holiday breaks. If you do not use your campus email address be sure your email is being forwarded to your current address. Here are instructions for forwarding email.
