Circulation Policies

LOAN PERIODS -- Books from the Circulation Collection may be borrowed for 14 days. A maximum of 20 items may be borrowed at a time. Periodicals may be taken out of the Library to be photocopied, but they may not be borrowed overnight. Reserve materials are usually loaned out for 2 hours, although some books may be taken out overnight, or for 3 days, or for 7 days. Reference material may be taken out for 2 hours but can go out overnight with special permission from a reference librarian.

To borrow any material, students must present their College ID card at all times.

RENEWALS -- Books from the Circulating Collection may be renewed once for an extra two weeks; these renewals may be done at the Library (without the books in hand, as long as the student has his or her College ID), online via My Account, or by telephone at (514) 931-8792.

REQUESTS/HOLDS -- If students are unable to locate a book or periodical on our shelves, they may request a search at the Circulation Desk. Staff will search for the item and inform the student of the results. Students may also request that a book already on loan be placed on hold, so they are guaranteed to receive the book upon its return.

LIBRARY FINES -- At the time of check-out, note the date and time that your items are due. If you return the item after its due date, the item will be considered late. Here is a summary of the fines:

Instructor Guideline for Print Reserves and Cyber Reserves

Print Reserves

Submit Reserve Form and materials to a Staff Member at the Marianopolis College Library Circulation Desk. Contact Elaine Greer reserves@marianopolis.edu with any questions.

Fill out Reserve Request Form completely and allow 24 hours for Processing for Print Reserves.

To ensure controlled use, please select a Loan Period on the Reserve Request Form. Choose from: 2 hour, 24 hour, or 3 day loan periods.

• Give students the same bibliographic information as entered on the Reserve Form.

• Please specify the removal date on the form.

• Copyright Clearance : Any material may be placed on Reserve, provided that it adheres to the College Copyright Policy. For more information on obtaining permission pSeptember 29, 2009

• Overnight loans of 2 hour Reserve materials are strictly monitored and are available only to Students who bring in a letter of permission provided by a faculty member from the appropriate discipline. Reserve books may only be borrowed at 4:00 pm and must be returned the next morning no later than 8:30 am. A fine of $25.00 will be charged for each overdue item, and no other materials may be checked out until the fine is cleared.

What is Cyber Reserves?

• Cyber Reserves is a Web-based system for online access to articles, course notes, and other supplemental materials that would otherwise only be accessible in person at the library. Materials placed on reserve by faculty include: course syllabi, class notes, exams, and exercises.
• Access to Cyber Reserves is available only to current Marianopolis students. Cyber Reserves enables students to retrieve, view, and print a variety of course materials that their instructors have placed on reserve for their use during the term.
• We would like to recommend that all assignments be placed on cyber reserves only. Most of the teachers have tried this approach and it has proven to be quite successful. However, if paper copies are required, we would be happy to make them available to your students.

If you are submitting paper copies :

1) Please submit single sided copies of all of your assignments.

2) Please note that staples slow down processing.

 If you are submitting Electronic files :

Please send your Word or PDF files via email to reserves@marianopolis.edu

Allow 24 hours for processing --- although we always try to scan immediately.

Also, to ensure that all assignments are put on the web for the weekend, on Fridays, please submit by 2:00 pm.
