Staff

A picture ID card is required to borrow materials from the University of Georgia Libraries. While the preferred form of identification is the UGA ID card, a current, government-issued picture ID - such as (but not limited to) a driver's license, Georgia ID card, US passport, or US military ID - may be used instead. Staff members who are officially retired from the University of Georgia retain their staff borrowing privileges.

Loan Periods -  The staff loan period is 28 days. Exceptions include:  rare books, periodicals, microforms, newspapers, the Leisure Collection, and others materials. See Borrowing Policies for detailed information on loan periods. There is no limit to the number of items a staff member may check out, with the exception of special permission and Reserve items.

Renewals - 2 automatic renewals for most  items. After the 2 automatic renewals, books may be brought to the Circulation Desks at Science, Main or the CML to be discharged and borrowed again. There is no limit on the number of times an item may be borrowed as long as no one else has requested it.

Notices - Courtesy notices, overdue notices, recall notices, recall overdue notices and recall fine bills are sent by email. These notices are sent as a courtesy. Failure to receive a notice does not absolve the borrower from responsibility for payment of library fines/fees.

Lost or Damaged items - Books are marked Lost after being overdue for 60 days. A borrower who loses an item is responsible for reimbursing the Libraries for the replacement cost. The cost of repair or replacement of damaged items will be billed to the borrower. Failure to pay library fines/fees may result in the suspension of borrowing privileges. Restrictions will be removed when obligations to the Libraries are cleared.

Payments - Payment for library fines/fees can be made in person at the Main Library with a check or a debit/credit card. Payments can also be made by mail with a check or money order paid to the order of UGA Libraries. Failure to pay library fines/fees may result in the suspension of borrowing privileges. Restrictions will be removed when obligations to the Libraries are cleared.
