General Library Policies

  • Food and drinks, including bottled drinks, are not allowed in the Library.
  • Cell phones/pagers must be set to silent or turned off while in the Library.
  • No children under the age of 16 are allowed in the Library.
  • Students are not allowed to use Library phones.
  • The Library is a place for studying. Please keep talking and unnecessary noise to a minimum.
  • The Library offers photocopy service for use by all patrons. There is a 10¢ charge per page.

Circulation Policies
Students must present a valid student ID in order to borrow circulating materials from the Library. Circulating books may be checked out for a 2 week period and, if needed, can be renewed for an additional 2 weeks.

Reference items and periodicals may not be checked out, but must be used while in the Library.

Reserve books may be obtained at the Circulation desk and may be used within the Library. Some reserve books can be taken home for the night; check at the Circulation desk for more information.

OTC students and staff do not pay fines on standard overdue items. We encourage patrons to return checked out books in a timely manner to make them available for other patrons. Failure to return checked out materials will result in the student being placed on library hold, preventing subsequent registration or transcript release until the materials are returned to the library or the appropriate fines are paid.

Lost or damaged items are billed to borrowers to cover replacement costs and fees. Replacement cost of book: Current cost as listed in Books in Print

Faculty and staff will receive a reminder notice containing a list of items on their account two weeks prior to the end of the quarter. All faculty and staff will be asked to review the list for accuracy and return the items. They may place a request for renewal of the materials that they still need.

 

All books are checked out to students for a 2 week period and may be renewed for another 2 weeks, if needed. Patrons may check out 3 items at a time. The books should be returned to the Circulation desk at the Waycross or Alma library; or their instructor if taking off-campus classes before the return due date. Faculty and staff may check out books for the whole quarter.

Students borrowing from other campuses are subject to the same circulation policies as students borrowing from the Waycross campus.
