Circulation of Library Materials

Most books in the Reeves Library Collection are loaned to students for a period of one month and to faculty for the current semester. DVDs are available for circulation also.

Library holdings may be searched in the Arthur catalog. Arthur allows you to search our holdings as well as those at William Woods, Lincoln, Columbia, Stephens and Missouri State Library.. You may also search other Mobius libraries including the University of Missouri, Columbia or Missouri River Regional in Jefferson City..

Circulation Policies

Library patrons will be asked to present their Reeves College ID in order to borrow materials.

Due Dates

Patrons are responsible for renewing or returning items on or before their due dates. Library users can access their accounts via the Sign In option on the library catalog search page.

Courtesy notices are sent 3 days prior to the due date. Notices are sent to your WC email account. Overdue notices are sent 1 day after an item is due. Non-receipt of a notice is not cause for waiving fines or fees. One subsequent notice will be sent before an item is presumed lost.

Overdue/Lost Items

Items reach lost status once fourteen days overdue. At that time, replacement and maximum overdue fees accrue on the borrower's account. Patrons are billed the purchase cost of an item or a standard replacement fee when the cost is not available from the vendor. Lost or overdue items remain the property of the Reeves College Library and must be returned if located.

Standard replacement cost:

• Book: $120
• Multimedia: $120

Damaged Items

Patrons must notify the Circulation Desk when returning items that are damaged. Obvious physical damage to an item that occurred while it was checked out may result in the patron being charged a fee to repair or replace the item.

Fines and Fees

Fines/fees may be paid by check, or money order at the Circulation Desk.  Accounts that accrue two hundred dollars in fines/fees will be blocked until the fees are paid or items returned.  All charges are non-refundable once they have been transferred from the Library account.

Recalls

Books may be recalled by students, faculty or staff at any time. Recalled books are due back in three weeks, or on the original due date, whichever occurs first.  Items recalled by the Library for reserve use are due in seven days, or on the original due date, whichever occurs first.

Special Permissions

Individual journal issues do not circulate. Reference books, bound periodicals, and other non-circulating materials may be borrowed with special permission from the Library staff.
