Please present your UWM ID at the Borrowing Services desk in the library in order to check out library materials from the general collection. Each person is responsible for all material borrowed with their ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faculty\/Staff members at UWM may select one or more individuals to be their proxy at the UWM Libraries<\/a> so long as the proxy is also part of the UWM Community (staff\/student). These individuals may borrow and request materials in your name. When an item is checked out by proxy, it shows up directly on your personal record \u2013 not the proxy\u2019s. You will be responsible for all materials checked out in your name by a proxy. It will also be your responsibility to supply the UWM libraries with end-dates after which an individual is no longer your proxy. Requesting that someone become your proxy and updating their end-date can both be done by filling out a request on this web form<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Faculty\/Staff at UWM have access to a variety of reciprocal borrowing privileges<\/a> at other institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The following policies apply to items circulated from the general collection of the library. Equipment and some media items are restricted to UWM students, staff, and faculty and may have different loan periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n UWM Libraries materials are due at the end of the current semester, renewable for up to 5 calendar years. Items on loan from other UW System libraries are only renewable for up to 2 years. Items checked out during the Summer Session are due at the end of the Fall Semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All General Collection items are checked out for 28 days, renewable up to 84 days total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n UWM Libraries materials are due at the end of the current semester, renewable for up to 5 calendar years. Items on loan from other UW System libraries are only renewable for up to 2 years. Items checked out during the Summer Session are due at the end of the Fall Semester. Individuals that have been granted Emeritus status by the Chancellor will continue to have access to online subscription resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Renewals are done in Search@UW<\/a> through \u2018My Library Account\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After clicking on the \u201cRenew Items\u201d button, the user should verify the new date, and report any problems to the borrowing services desk as soon as possible. Books from the general collection may also be brought to the Borrowing Services Desk and renewed in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After your renewal limit has expired, it may be reset by returning the items in person to the library borrowing services desk and checking them back out immediately. You may do this as long as you retain your status at UWM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a courtesy reminder only, an overdue notice is sent on the day after an item is due. Failure to receive this reminder is not an excuse for voiding overdue service charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Faculty\/Staff will receive all Overdue Notices via their UWM E-mail account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Any material not returned or renewed within 28 days of the date due will be considered LOST. A replacement fee of $100 for each book or periodical will be issued for each lost item. The replacement fee for media and equipment can vary depending on the value of the item. The replacement fee is waived if the item is returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Library fines can be paid online or through the mail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you need to know the balance owed, view My Account<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pay fines online<\/a>. Select the \u201cUWM Libraries\u201d category, then \u201cUWM Libraries Fine\u201d and clicking \u201cView Details\u201d to enter your payment amount and information. The system accepts all major credit cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may also mail in your payment to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n UWM Libraries Checks should be made payable to \u201cUW-Milwaukee\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fines and fees over $200 which remain unpaid for 60 days or more may be sent to a Collection agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Checked out materials may be returned to the Borrowing Services desk in the building. There are two book drops located at the Borrowing Services desk itself, as well as two outside book drops. One outside book drop is located near the entrance to the west wing of the library and the other resides near the bus shelter on Hartford Avenue. The two outside book drops are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No checked-out library materials<\/strong> should be returned to the in-house use bins located within the library. These are only for books used within the library<\/strong>. It will be the library user\u2019s responsibility to pay any overdue charges for materials returned to these bins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You are responsible for all material checked out on your ID and should point out noticeable damage before checking out any material. Library materials that are returned damaged will be assessed a service charge based on the cost of repairing the damaged item. If the item cannot be repaired, a replacement charge will apply. Charges will vary and payment is the responsibility of the borrowing patron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Library accounts for affiliated patrons (students and employees) are based on the ePanther Account<\/a> system run by UITS, and are therefore subject to the ePanther Account Deprovisioning<\/a> conditions and process. Questions about your ePanther account should be addressed to the Help Desk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Complimentary library borrowing privileges are granted to UWM alumni for a period of one year following graduation. To receive a Borrowing Card, recent graduates should present proof of graduation and their UWM ID to Borrowing Services staff at the Golda Meir Library\u2019s Borrowing Services Desk. Please note that, due to licensing terms, remote access<\/a> to library collections (such as databases and e-journals) is not included with this service. Borrowing from other libraries via interlibrary loan is also not offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Borrowing Services Desk
