Library Orientation: Checking Out Materials

The Circulation Desk

Near the main entrance of the library.

Visit us for:

• Checking out, renewing, and returning library materials
• Borrowing course reserves - materials that a professor has placed on reserve for a specific course
• Picking up items requested on Interlibrary Loan
• Requesting CDs, DVDs, and rare books located behind the Circulation Desk

How do I check out Library materials?

• Bring the items you want to the front desk (or request them if they are held behind the desk)
• Have your Keuka College ID Card ready

How long can I check out materials? Are there any fines for returning things late?

For information about fines and length of loans, visit our Circulation Policies Guide.

How to Borrow Course Reserves

Materials that a professor has placed on reserve for a specific course

1. Come to the front circulation desk to see if your professor has put your required course materials on reserve.

2. Look up your course in the binder by the professor's last name.

3. If the item is on reserve, ask the front desk worker to retrieve it for you and check it out to you.

4. Reserve materials usually go out for a limited amount of time (sometimes only a few hours), and some are required to use only in the library.
