Students, faculty and staff at Rutgers may recall items needed for research. Guest borrowers are not eligible for recall privileges. All books in circulation are subject to recall. You may receive a "Recall Notice" notifying you to return materials prior to the normal loan period.

Return a recalled item before the new date set by the library to avoid paying a fine. A fine of $5 per day up to $50 will be assessed and borrowing privileges suspended for failure to return recalled material on time.

Library notices will be sent to your email address on file with the libraries. If you don't have email, paper notices will be mailed to your home address.

An Overdue Notice is sent when items are 7 days overdue. At 21 days overdue, a Final Notice stating the average replacement and processing cost of $102.00 per item is sent. Contact the Center of Alcohol Studies Library for the actual cost of replacement. Your borrowing privileges will be suspended and a hold may be placed on your library record. When items are six months overdue, a Bill for Replacement is sent. The University reserves the right to forward all delinquent accounts to collection agencies and to levy a collection fee.

Guest borrowers are not eligible for interlibrary loan and recalls, delivery of Rutgers materials, and borrowing privileges at the Rutgers law libraries.

Guest borrowers are not entitled to off-campus access to certain databases. Licensing agreements between the Rutgers University Libraries and proprietors of certain databases strictly limit off-site use to current Rutgers students, faculty, and staff.
