Circulation
Policy
Students, faculty,
staff, as well as the general public, are encouraged to use
our library. The loan period for most library materials
is generally 4 weeks. Patrons
may place a hold on materials that are currently checked
out and will be notified when the material is available.
Patrons
may renew borrowed materials that have not been placed on
hold by another patron. Students, faculty and staff can sign
in to their account through the library catalog.
Students should review the telecourse
circulation policy.
To provide better service for all, library policy strongly
recommends students, faculty and staff show
their TCC photo
i.d. cards when checking out any of our materials.
A processing fee of $10.00 is charged for replacement of
photo i.d. cards. In all circulation transactions, a picture
i.d. is required.
Registered TCC students, faculty, and staff may
also obtain a Virginia
Tidewater Consortium Card which may be used to check
out materials from other area academic libraries. Proof of
registration
(i.e. registration form or current semester sticker on student
i.d.) is required.
Community patrons must show a photo i.d.
and proof of a current local address to obtain TCC library
cards at the Circulation Desk. A processing fee of $5.00
is charged for replacement of library cards. Books borrowed
from TCC may be returned to any campus library.
Course
Reserves
Materials are shelved
in the "Course Reserves" section of the library
when faculty place personal copies, textbooks, library books,
audio/visual
materials,
and/or photocopies on Course Reserve for
2-hour in-library use, 24-hour use, 3-day use, or 1-week
use. A request form is required
for each item placed on reserve. Please abide by our Course
Reserves policy and
allow 48 hours (excluding
weekends) for processing. Copyright
compliance is the responsibility of the faculty member.
Returning
Library Materials
Return any library
materials to any campus. Please return audio-visual (media)
materials inside the library to prevent damage in the outside
book drops.
Overdue/Lost
materials
One out-of-print
replacement price will be charged for lost, damaged, or
non-returned
materials. This price is $50.00 as determined by the average
book prices cited in the Bowker Annual of Library and
Book
Trade Information. Once billed
for lost or overdue library material, debts not paid within
30 days will be sent to a collection agency and a 30%, non-refundable
fee will be assessed.
Intercampus
Loan
The process whereby
one TCC library lends materials to another TCC
library. A TCC library card is required to request an
intercampus loan. Request forms are available in each
campus LRC or online.
Materials are usually received by the requesting library within
3 days and can be picked up at the Circulation Desk.
Interlibrary
Loan
The process whereby
one library, academic or public, lends materials to another
library. Interlibrary loan is available for TCC faculty,
staff, and currently enrolled students.
