Borrow
All students, faculty, administrators, and staff with a valid DC1-Card may borrow material from the library.
Library materials can be checked out and returned anytime during normal business hours at the circulation desk. Material may also be returned after hours by using the book drop located outside across from the library entrance.
Patrons may view their checkouts online by going to the Library Catalog and clicking the "Sign In" button on the ribbon at the top of the page. This will prompt you to sign into your Outlook account, so please enter your @dc or @duny credentials to sign in. Once you have signed in, you will be able to view your loans, open requests, and saved materials from our databases. Call the circulation desk at 845-848-7505 with any questions about accessing your Library Account.
General Collection
Anyone in the Dominican University New York community and affiliated borrowers may borrow books from the General Collection.
Reserves
Anyone in the Dominican University community may borrow reserve books. Reserve books may be checked out for up to three hours and may not leave the library. For more information on Reserves, please visit our Course Reserves page.
Non-circulating Material
Reference books and periodicals can only be used in the library.
Holds
Holds may be placed on material that is checked out to another patron. A hold may be placed at the circulation desk with a staff member or through your library account. Unfortunately, holds cannot be placed on reserve materials.
Fines
Fines will be charged to students for overdue materials. Patrons will receive notices about upcoming due dates and notices if and when their materials are overdue--these notices will be sent to patrons' DC or DUNY email accounts. Overdue books will accrue at a rate of $1.00 per day. Overdue course reserve items will accrue at a rate of $1.00 per hour. Patrons with more than $25.00 in fines will be restricted from borrowing material until the fine is resolved. If a material is lost, patrons are required to pay a lost item processing fee of $10.00 in addition to the replacement cost of the material.
Renew
Material may be renewed as long as no one has placed a "hold" on it. You can renew in person at the circulation desk, over the phone by calling 845-848-7505, or via the Library Catalog by clicking "My Folder" and "Loans". You can then select the renewal button on each item you would like for longer. Material that has reached the renewal limit cannot be renewed. Please refer to the table above for borrowing periods.
