By clicking on an item's title, you can get more information about that item.
 

Can I renew my items online?

We do not permit online renewals of media items.  Our rationale for not allowing online renewals of media is based mainly on the fact that: a) educational media typically cost quite a bit more that feature films, making them that much more expensive to replace if lost or damaged; and b) our faculty expect that the instructional media for their program areas will be available for them to check out for classroom use.  Requiring renewals to be done in person provides the greatest access for everyone.
