Re: Overdue Library materials

Every library faces the
problem of retrieving overdue
materials. Apart from the large
sums of money involved, deter-
ioration in quality of service
results. Our College faces mat-
erial and labour costs incurred |
in replacement, and. the wrath of
borrowers unable to obtain mat-
erials. Solutions are sought
which are fair and which ensure
that delinquent borrowers are
held responsible for overdue
materials. Celtel”

icy to withold transcripts and

ering for classes if College

ATTENTION FACULTY MEMBERS:

Message from the Reference Librarians

As reference librarians we would
like to be aware of what topics are
assigned for term paper or library
research assignments for several
reasons:

1) we will know before students ar-
rive at the reference desk, the
‘scope of our collection for the
topic (pertinent subject headings,
appropriate periodical indexes,
audio-visual sources, etc.)

2) we will be prepared for the
number of students needing the
resources in a subject area

3) we will know,more about the type
of research needed and the details
of the assignment |

When possible, could you send a
copy of your research assignments to
the reference librarian at the campus
library. Since sonie assignments are
given orally, we would appreciate
receiving a call to learn the details
of student assignments. This way we
can make a note for the reference
staff.
