Welcome to the William Madison Randall Library. Faculty/staff spouses may be issued a Borrower's Card without charge by visiting the Circulation Desk to get registered for the card.

Loan Period

The loan period is 21 days for books and government documents. The loan period for audiovisual materials is 7 days. Reserve materials, reference items, and periodicals must be used in the building.

A/V Renewals
Renewals for videos, DVDs, CDs and audiobooks are limited to two (2) per item.

Restrictions

• Items in the Reserve Collection may not be checked out. These materials are in high demand for students enrolled in UNCW courses.
• No holds (i.e. requests for items already checked out) are allowed.
• You are not eligible for UNCW's Interlibrary Borrowing services. Please use your local public library for this service.
• Faculty/staff spouses are not eligible for computer lab use or laptop checkout.

Overdue Charges

Overdue charges accrue at $.25 per item per day, to a maximum of $6.00 per item. The overdue charge for audiovisuals is $1.00 per item per day, to a maximum of $10.00 per item. Borrowing privileges are revoked if a user has overdue books or owes overdue charges. When borrowing materials, please observe these regulations:

1. Present your Randall Library Borrower's Card for each transaction.

2. Borrowing privileges are not transferable, with one exception. High school students enrolled in grades 9-12 may be added as an authorized user to an adult parent's or guardian's borrower's card. By sponsoring their child, the parent or guardian assumes responsibility for the return of all materials and the payment of any charges assessed for damage or overdues. To check out materials, the high school student should present their parent's or guardian's borrower card and their high school identification card or driver's license at the Randall Library Circulation Desk.

3. Borrowers are responsible for materials borrowed until they are returned to the Library. Lost or damaged material must be paid for; we charge the replacement cost and accumulated overdue fines.

4. Most materials may be renewed by bringing them to the Circulation Desk. Unless overdue or requested by another user, materials may also be renewed by telephone (962-3272), or by using the Library's online system.

The Library's catalog is available on the Web at http://library.uncw.edu. Access to this system provides a record of the library's collection and serves as a gateway to a wide variety of other electronic resources, including full-text article databases and indexing and abstracting services.

Please inquire at the Reference Desk for assistance in using the Library. We hope that you will enjoy using the Randall Library.
