Policy on
Confidentiality
As of July 1, 2007, faculty, staff, retirees,
graduate students and honors undergraduate students may check out
books for 6 months (180 days) and renew them online 5 times. The
change allows books to be borrowed for 3 years before they must
be returned. Although books may be borrowed for up to 3 years,
they are still subject to RECALL under this new
policy.

Return books to the Circulation Desk. Return recalled items,
directly to the Circulation Desk attendant. When the library is
closed, books may be placed into the depository slots outside of
the library entrance. Receipts for returned items are available
upon request.
Renewals may be requested in person, by phone or online. Any item that has reached its renewal limit, must be brought to the library.
Requesting Online Renewals:

Notices
Reminder notices are sent seven (7) days prior to the item coming due. Only one reminder notice is sent. If the item(s) are not returned or renewed by the due date, an overdue notice is sent. All library circulation notices are distributed via email. If you use an email address other than a huskymail or uconn.edu email address, you need to forward your UConn email to your non-University email address. You may do this at: http://huskymailforwarding.uconn.edu/. You will need to use your NetID to log in ( http://netid.uconn.edu) or see the UITS Huskymail Support site for more information.
If you need assistance, please call Circulation at 203 251-8500.
Replacement Charges
Long overdue books are billed at $95 per item plus a $15 nonrefundable late return/billing fee. The $95 replacement cost is refundable, if the item is returned within one year of the billing date.
Recalled Items
Overdue recalled books are charged $5.00 a day/item; maximum of $50.
Payment of Charges
Bills for library charges are issued by and paid at the University Bursar's Office. Payments may be made in person during regular business hours or by mail. Checks are payable to the University of Connecticut. No payments are accepted at the library. Library charges for students appear on the next semester's fee bill. Charges must be paid in full before registration is permitted and official transcripts can be issued.

If you are Connecticut resident, you may purchase a Community Borrower card for $50 and show proof of residence. For members of the UConn Alumni Association, the card is $35 and must show current Association Card (Life members of the association receive the service free of charge). The Community Borrower card is valid for one year. The Community Borrower card does NOT provide off-campus access to UConn's electronic subscription resources (e.g., databases).
Recent UConn graduates may still be in the system and able to borrow materials for a few weeks, but otherwise there are no other privileges for alumni, except as mentioned above.
The identity of the borrower or
requestor of a library item and the information contained in
individual
Circulation System patron records are confidential as mandated by
State of Connecticut Public Act #76-421.
Such information is maintained in computerized files in order to
enable Circulation Services to conduct its normal business:
Access to an individual’s record is available to:
Access to individual records by any other party, including other library staff who have "no need to know," other University staff, other state or federal employees, or other library patrons, is prohibited.
In unusual circumstance, the Circulation/Reserve Staff member may act as an intermediary between the borrower and requestor of an item, but the identity of both the borrower and the requestor must be preserved at all times.
Circulation Services is committed to the protection of the right to privacy of all library patrons and the prevention of harassment by other borrowers.
