What's New at the UCC Library?

Winter Term Reserve Items Due Soon 

Library reserve items (laptops, calculators, and ECE/HDFS textbooks) check out for one term at a time. This assures that the library is able to update all firmware, software, and keep collections accurate. This means that all library laptops, calculators, and textbooks are due on or before Friday, March 21, 2025.

If you need a library laptop, calculator, or ECE/HDFS textbook for Spring Term 2025, they will be available at the start of Spring Term (March 31, 2025). 

Students who do not return library laptops, calculators, and textbooks on or before the due date will have a hold placed on their student account and will be blocked from registering for Summer/Fall Term. In addition, they may be referred to a collection agency and charged a non-refundable fee of $250.

Want to avoid this hassle? Please return your library materials on or before Friday, March 21, 2025.

Winter Term Library Hours

Help us kick off the new year by swinging in and checking out a great new book! 

Hours for the winter term (1/6/25 - 3/21/25) will be as follows:

• Monday: 7:45am - 5:00pm
• Tuesday: 7:45am - 5:00pm
• Wednesday:  7:45am - 5:00pm

Do you Still Have Items From Fall Term?

• Library reserve items (textbooks, calculators, laptops, course kits) are checked out for one term only with the due date being the last Friday of term (for fall that was amended to be December 2 because of the holiday). Students must return items at the end of each term, failure to return items within 2-weeks of the term's end will be reported to Student Accounts and a hold will be placed on their accounts.

Late Laptops

• If a laptop is returned late, the borrower may be subject to a 1-week waiting period before they can check out another laptop. This waiting period ensures that library staff have sufficient time to reimage the laptop and make it available to other students who have returned their laptops on time.

Consequences of Circulation Violation

• Failure to comply with library circulation procedures may result in suspension of borrowing privileges.
• Students who keep Reserve items significantly past the time they are due, preventing other students from using the material, may be referred to the Office of Student Conduct.
