About Recalls

A "Recall" of library materials is when a borrower's loan is shortened because the item is needed elsewhere.  Any item can be Recalled at any time, and it may dramatically shorten your time with an item.

Recalled items:

  • Recalled items cannot be renewed, and accrue overdue fines at an accelerated rate
  • The library system sends out automated notices for Recalled items
    • Automatic communications from the system are sent as a courtesy.  Failure to receive or read one does not excuse late returns
  • You can always check loan due dates using the "My Account" or "My Library Card" section of your university's library catalog
