Services for you

Library Notices

The libraries send a variety of notices to our patrons.   All notices are sent to Riverland student e-mail.   Information about e-mail can be found on the Computer Resources links.

Overdue Notices:
Patrons will receive a notice for item(s) not returned to the library by the due date in their Netmail email account. These notices are sent as a courtesy and failure to receive/respond to the notice does not relieve your obligation to pay late fees.   For most items, the library charges a $5.00 processing fee when an item(s) is returned late.   This applies to all circulating items. Different fees are assessed for reserve materials.  

Avoiding Late Charges:
Items can be renewed online accessing your borrowing record.   A library card number and password are required.   Reserve materials cannot be renewed.  To avoid late charges, return reserve materials on or before the due date.

• enter your patron barcode and password.   Help

Interlibrary Loan Notices:
Patrons will receive a notice in their Netmail email when interlibrary loan items have arrived for pickup.   If patrons have requested an e-delivery of a journal articles, notices for pickup will be posted to Netmail email account.

Recall Notices:
In some cases the library will need to recall an item for use by another patron.   This normally happens when an item has been renewed by a borrower and needed by another patron.   These notices will also appear in your Netmail email account.   Failure to respond to the recall will generate a fine for the item.

Hold Notices:
A hold is a request initiated by a patron for a book that is currently in use.   Hold notices will be emailed to a patron when the requested item has been returned to the library.   Holds can be picked up at the circulation desk.
