General
Information
Circulation
Services
Below is a summary of some basic Circulation Services. Consult
the Circulation Policy for a complete explanation
of all Circulation services and guidelines.
Borrowing & Renewals
Merrimack College alumni will be provided with a special borrower card once
their information is validated through the Office of Alumni Relations. Alumni
may borrow circulating books for 30 days. Reference books, periodicals and
newspapers do not circulate. The alumni borrower card must be presented to
check out materials. Books are due back to the library on or before the stamped
due date. Materials may be renewed twice before being returned unless a hold
request has been placed on the book, in which case the book is due by the
date specified on the recall notice. Renewals may be made in person, by phone
(978-837-5215, x4215), or by e-mail (merrimack_circ@noblenet.org).
You may also renew materials online (see View Your Account for more
information).
View Your Account
Alumni with a valid borrower card may obtain a PIN number from the Circulation
Department. With this PIN number, you can login
to your library account and place holds, renew materials, and view your
circulation record online. For more information, click here or contact the Circulation Department.
Overdue or Lost Materials
An overdue notice will be sent to the borrower for any book that has not
been returned by the due date. After three overdue notices, the borrower will
be billed a replacement fee of $50.00 per overdue book, and all library privileges
will be suspended until the matter is resolved. Replacement fees will be waived
and library privileges reinstated when the overdue book is returned to the
library.
Lost or damaged McQuade
Library books should be reported to the Evening Library Services Manager as soon as possible.
A $50.00 fee for all lost and damaged materials will be charged to the patron’s
account and must be paid immediately. A refund of the replacement charges
will be made if the book is found and returned to the library within one month
of payment.
