In most UC Libraries you are expected to locate the books yourself. See tips on locating and library materials. A librarian or student at the service desk will be happy to assist you. |
What can be checked out
Visiting scholars who are granted library access by the University may borrow most materials that have a status of Available in the catalog (some items such as reference books, newspapers and magazines are not available for loan). You must check out the material you wish to borrow at the service desk. You can find the faculty borrowing privileges here.
UC Libraries (Uptown Campus) does NOT loan equipment such as laptops or cameras. Please refer to your hosting department for your technology needs.
How to check out
For checking out library material you need your University of Cincinnati I.D. card. If you forgot your library I.D., you may use any valid picture I.D., such as a driver's license.
When you check out a book, the library staff member will put a stamp in your book to remind you when it needs to be returned. You can also manage your account online. Tips on managing your library record.
Please note that all materials can be recalled if they are wanted by other patrons. If you get a recall notice (a request to return the book wanted by another patron), please note that fines will be applied from the day it needs to be returned.

If this happens to you, please let the librarian on duty talk to you to find out what may have caused the alarm to go out. Please do not leave your personal belongings unattended at any time.
