To assure maximum efficiency and responsibility in sharing of resources among NOBLE libraries, member libraries agree to the following:
1. At least one pre-overdue notice will be sent via email in advance of the due date to remind users to renew or return the material.
2. At least one overdue reminder will be sent after the due date.
3. A bill notice in both print and email will be sent 42 days after the due date.
4. A long overdue block will be placed on the patron’s record at 42 days after the due date. The block will prevent patrons from self- checkout/renew/holds. The block can be overridden by staff in the library if deemed appropriate for that library’s materials only.
Member colleges may opt to have their faculty and students exempted from long overdue blocks for items owned by their institution.
