Items are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and can be renewed one time. Patrons should charge camcorders and clear memories before returning the equipment.

The Irwin Library recognizes that demand for these devices can be high; as a result, patrons are required to wait 24 hours after returning cameras and microphones before checking one out again.

Overdue

Overdue notices will be e-mailed to students several times before an item(s) is declared lost. To ensure a timely return of equipment and to avoid fees for lost materials, students are encouraged to monitor their due-dates via My Library Account. Late fees for reserves, PC & Mac laptops, & iPads are billed at $10 per day per overdue item up to $140. Late fees for all other equipment (headsets, à la carte chargers, room keys, etc.) are billed at $10 per overdue item. If the library equipment is returned undamaged within 14 days past the due date, then the student will only be required to pay the late fee(s).

Billing

After 14 days, library equipment is declared lost and a bill will be e-mailed to the student and to Student Accounts. Students will have to pay an irreversible replacement cost (ranging from $15—$500+). If the bill is greater than $195 a department requested hold will be placed on the student’s account and will not be lifted until the bill is settled.

Please direct any questions regarding overdue items and billing to circ@butler.edu.
