Effective immediately, the date due for books checked out by William and Mary faculty from Swem Library will be "never." This is a change from the current 365-day loan period and 365-day renewal period for books. This change will free both Swem circulation staff and faculty from some
time-consuming and repetitious record keeping. The due date does not apply to other materials such as videos; those loan periods are outlined on the Borrowing Privileges chart.
Please note that you can use "My Account," available from both the Swem home page and online catalog, to see a list of materials checked out in your name. Although the due date says "never," any material checked out by a faculty member may be recalled when needed by another patron. Faculty will have two weeks to return recalled items; if they are not returned, the faculty member's account will be blocked, resulting in no further borrowing privileges until the matter is resolved.
For questions, please contact David Morales, Swem Circulation Manager, at x13058 or dnmora@wm.edu.
