Recall: All loans are subject to recall. Due to our liberal renewal policy, we encourage faculty, students, and staff to recall needed items. When an item is recalled, the due date is changed, giving the current patron one week to finish using the item. If not returned on time, fines accrue at the rate of $1.00/day. Recalls may be placed on-line using the "Place Requests" option in the Voyager Catalog or at any UR Library.
Non-Circulating Materials: Some non-circulating materials, including Reference Books, may be borrowed for 2 hours with the permission of a librarian. Ask at the Reference Desk at the Business and Government Information Library on the 2nd Floor of Rush Rhees.
