Irwin Library Fax Policy

Sending

The fax machine is only for CURRENT Butler Students, staff, and faculty to send faxes. Verification: Patrons will need to show their ID card or be looked up in the ALEPH system.
Patrons are REQUIRED TO WAIT for their fax to be processed. Due to privacy concerns we cannot allow patrons to leave a fax and come back for it later.
We do not charge for any faxes. This includes long distance or international faxes.
A confirmation page will print out at the end of the fax and can be given to the patron.
The number of pages sent in one request and the number of fax numbers sent to are subject to staff discretion (i.e., desk staffing, pending assignments, etc). A good rule of thumb is one large mutli-page fax (10+ pages) to any one fax number or a small fax (approximately five pages) to no more than five different fax numbers.

Faxes can be sent to (317) 940-9498 (Irwin Library Circulation Desk) or (317) 940-9519 (Science Library).
The intended recipient of the fax should be clearly noted.
Circulation Staff will notify the recipient of a fax via email.
Once notified, the recipient will have 48 hours to pick up their fax from the circulation desk. Faxes not picked up within 48 hours of notification will be shredded.
Please contact the circulation desk at (317) 940-9227 (Irwin) or (317) 940-9401 (Science) with any questions or to confirm a fax has been received.

*Please note the Library reserves the right to update or modify this policy at any time.
