Is the book you need checked out? Here's what to do:

If a book you locate in our catalog is checked out, simply hit the "Request Item" button.  You will then be prompted to enter your UNCG username and password. After you submit your request, our Interlibrary Loan staff will track down a copy of the book and notify you when we receive it. 

Due to a system upgrade, patrons are temporarily unable to place holds on UNCG items that are checked out.  In early June, this function will be back, and at that time you will be able to either place a hold on a checked-out book or request that we find it from a different library.

Fine Amnesty!

This May, the UNCG Libraries are changing circulation systems and want as many items as possible returned before May 16 so that accounts may be cleared before the switch.

To help the effort we are offering  fee and fine amnesty. From April 24-May 16, you may return Jackson Library or Harold Schiffman Music Library lost or overdue books and pay no fines or fees. No questions asked.

Here’s the “fine print”: Fines and fees will only be waived for Libraries books returned during this period. No credit will be given towards fines or fees for reserves, interlibrary loans, technology or AV equipment, DVDs, damaged items, or on any items returned prior to April 24, 2013.

No refunds or credits can be given on items more than 6 months overdue.

If you are not ready to return some library materials, please plan to renew those items before May 16.

If you have any questions or would like more information, contact the Access Services Department at 334-5304 or reserves@uncg.edu.
