See sections at left for full information on policies and guidelines for Student, Faculty, Alumni, Baltimore Academic Library Consortium, and Public users of the Decker Library.
General Circulation Guidelines
- Books are borrowed for a period of three weeks for students, one semester for faculty.
- If a book that you need is on loan to another patron, you may ask the Circulation staff to place it on hold, and notify you when it is returned.
- Any book may be renewed if no other patron has placed a hold on it.
- Overdue charges are 25 cents a day per book.
- A book is considered lost if not returned within two months of the due date. The borrower is then charged the book's full replacement cost plus a $25 processing fee.
- After hours, books can be returned in the bookdrop located at the main entrance of the Library on the first floor of the Bunting Center.
- Library users can view a list of their checked-out items -- and renew items -- using the Library Catalog by clicking on "My Account". This feature requires a PIN number which can be obtained by visiting the Library Circulation Desk or calling (410) 225-2272. You will also need your MICA id number, and to be a currently registered Library user.
