Circulation Guidelines

To check out materials in the Teaching Resources Center (TRC), patrons must present a valid photo ID at the circulation desk.

Patrons can browse TRC resources using McConnell Library's online catalog.

Depending on the type of material, most loan periods range from 7-14 days with a possibility of three renewals. Some materials, like Course Reserves, do not circulate and must be used in the center.

Books and DVDs may be returned through the book drop or at the circulation desk. Equipment and larger items must be returned to the circulation desk during business hours.

Returning and Renewing Materials

TRC materials should be returned or renewed by their due date. Many items may be renewed by coming to the TRC, calling 540-831-5832, or creating an account on the McConnell Library website.

Most items are fine-free! However, overdue fines will be charged for course reserves and audiovisual equipment. Replacement costs will be assessed for all items once they become extremely overdue, and can be cleared with either payment in full, or by return of the items. Charges may be assessed to any patron if items are damaged beyond normal wear and tear.

  • Overdue fines for equipment are $0.50 per hour.
  • Overdue items cannot be renewed online.
