Access and Circulation

In order to borrow material for viewing or listening, users must present a valid Stanford borrower's card. DVD's can be checked out to anyone with a valid Stanford I.D. and are due before closing on the day following check-out. Materials can be re-newed one time online and in-person after that at the loan desk. The video collection is non-circulating and must be used in-house, except to faculty, instructors and their proxies. For further information see Media Privileges.

Loan periods vary by a combination of format and user's status. For media, overdue fines are charged at a rate of $1.50/day, to a maximum of $10.50; they accrue around the clock. Reserve Media materials accrue overdue fines at a rate of $1.00/hour to a maximum of $30.00. Three days after the due date a bill for replacement charges is sent and the borrower is blocked from further circulation transactions. Media materials should be returned directly to Media-Microtext loan; after hours they can be returned to the Green loan desk. If the library is closed, the bookdrop designated "Media and Reserve" can be used.

Media items can be renewed one time online, through My Circulation Records.

Many microtexts may be borrowed for two weeks. Circulation of microtext materials is available only to users with a valid Stanford borrower's card.
