Every FSU student borrower at Chesnutt Library must have a

This serves as your library card. According to University
Policy, FSU Student Identification Cards are to be carried with the
students at all times, while on campus.

Faculty and staff should secure an FSU picture Identification
Card which will serve as their library card.

Borrowing and Renewals
Students
A limit of three (3) items may be borrowed at any one time. An
item may be renewed once for an additional three day period, unless
another user has requested that it be placed on "hold". After the
renewal, materials must be allowed to remain in the library a
minimum of seven (7) days to allow for possible use by other users.
Circulation of the material may continue with the original borrower
after this designated period. No more than two (2) renewals are allowed. Students may renew their items from the various computers
throughout the campus or from home. Create a Library PIN
number by going to "My Library Record" under
the "Services" column at the bottom of the
Library's Home Page.
Faculty/Staff
An unlimited number of materials may be borrowed for seven days.
Renewals are possible, unless there is a high demand for the
materials. Faculty are able to place materials for viewing on
Reserve in the Media Center for the whole semester. This will
enable students from different classes to have the material
available the hours the Media Center is open.
Reserve Form for Media Items.
NOTE: Legitimately purchased copies of video recordings, DVDs, CDs,
and cassette tapes may be placed on reserve in the Media Center.
Home made copies of television shows, movies, news, etc. on video
recordings, DVDs, CDs and cassettes CAN NOT be placed on Reserve in
the Media Center to be shown, because it will violate copyright
compliance regarding Public Performance Rights.

Overdue Notices and Replacement Costs
Starting June 8, 2008 media items returned more than 7 days late will incur a
non-refundable $15.00 charge per item. Patrons
with outstanding library fees will not be allowed to check out any
library materials (reserves, main stacks and media materials) until
their account is paid in full.
Faculty/Staff
Reminder notices will be sent to members of the faculty and staff
when materials are overdue. If the material is not returned within
one month after the due date, it is presumed lost. A statement of
the replacement cost will be sent to the University Office of
Business and Finance for collection from the borrower. A "flag" will
be placed on the account, and will not be removed, until the account
is paid.
Students
An overdue notice for materials not returned within one week
after the due date will be sent to the borrower. If by the end of
the third week the materials have not been returned, the media items are
considered lost. At this time, the borrower's name and the amount of
the replacement cost will be sent to the University Office of Business and
Finance for charging to the student's account. A "flag" will be
placed on the student's account, and will not be removed, until the
student pays for the lost material.
Please Note: Once a bill for a lost videotape or other
media material
has been filed with the Office of Business and Finance, the
media materials are
not to be returned to the library. Items are to be paid for based on the
replacement cost and a non-refundable fifteen dollar charge for each item replaced.
