Access/Circulation policies
Confidentiality
All records that identify the library material
borrowed, used, or requested by an
individual or any records that identify
individual library users are confidential and
will not be released. There are very
specific instances when these records can
be released. Please review the student
manual for details. Requests of this
nature should always be referred to a full-
time staff member.
Food & Drink
All library staff are expected to enforce the “No food or drink
allowed in the library” policy. Staff may have drinks in closed
containers under the desk. Food should be eaten in the staff
room.
If there is a problem, please request the patron’s compliance. It
may help to explain the reasons for the policy:
- We’ve had numerous complaints from library users about
food and drink problems (smell, spills, bugs).
- Food and drinks attract bugs which literally destroy our
collection
- Direct them to alternative sites, i.e. the lounge outside
the library
- Water fountains are in the hallway
Access & Circulation
The Art & Architecture library collection includes both circulating and non-circulating
materials. Borrowers with current WashU IDs have borrowing privileges for
circulating materials. In addition, there are “courtesy” patrons with borrowing
privileges.
Faculty – 90 days
Graduate students – 60 days
Undergraduates – 28 days
Courtesy & MOBIUS borrowers – 21 days
Please see the student manual for a detailed description of borrowing privileges.
Non-circulating materials: reference materials, materials designated as “Library use
only,” Periodicals, theses and dissertations, special collections materials. (Some
exceptions are made for faculty and graduate students)
Limited circulation materials: videos, DVDs, and CDs circulate for one week (non-WU
users are limited to library use only), Periodicals can circulate to faculty for one week
and to grad. Students for one day, library use only materials may circulate to WU
faculty for one week.
Renewals are granted unless another patron has requested the item. Borrowed material
may be recalled after 2 weeks.
Fines for overdue items accrue at the rate of 20 cents per day, per item. Rates are
different for items that have been recalled or are on reserve. See manual for details.
Service Desk
Library Webpage
“PAM files” have barcodes on the front of the folder that are
scanned like other reserve materials. The whole folder is checked
out to the patron. All PAM files are 2 hour reserve.
Victoria is the “go-to” person for reserves and she may have more
instructions for you when she returns.
