3. Books deposited in seminar rooms are classed as reserved books, and must not be removed from the room where shelved. They may, however, be borrowed overnight subject to the usual procedure and regulations covering such charges. Students must have written permission of the professor or instructor who placed book in seminar to borrow it for longer than over night. All books, whether borrowed by faculty or students, must be regularly charged at the Loan Desk.
4. The use of the seminar rooms is restricted to professors and instructors and to students for whom the privilege has been requested by them. Unauthorized persons must not be admitted by students. Seminar room doors must not be left open, excepting when classes are being held in the rooms.
5. Seminar rooms must be vacated by students when the library is closed. Closing hour week days is 10 P.M.; Sundays and vacation periods, 5 P.M.
Students failing to comply with the above seminar regulations are liable to forfeit seminar privileges.
VII. Library Fines and Penalties.
Fines on overdue books are not for the purpose of revenue. Indeed, they do not accrue to the funds of the library, but they have been proved necessary to obtain observance of the regulations made to protect the rights of all readers.
1. On reserved books drawn on white slips and not returned to the discharging desk in the Reserved Book Room on the day on which drawn (or within the time limit if issued for a limited period) the fine is 50 cents a volume; this will be doubled on all books not returned before noon of the following day.
2. On books or periodicals drawn on pink overnight slips and not returned to the desk from which drawn twenty minutes after the opening hour the following day the fine is 50 cents a volume; this will be doubled on all books or periodicals not returned before noon.
3. On all other books and periodicals which become overdue the fine is 50 cents per volume if not returned on or before the third day overdue, increasing to $1.00 per volume after the sixth day. On the tenth day the case will be referred to the Recorder and the delinquent is liable to be dropped from the rolls of the University. Failure to receive overdue notices does not relieve from penalty, for the date due is stamped in each book.
4. Readers are responsible for books drawn by them so long as their call slips remain unclaimed. Fines resulting from carelessness in this regard will not be remitted. Books merely left at the desk will be considered returned when found by a library attendant. Loss or misplacement of books or periodicals should be at once reported and adjustment made, otherwise fines will be assessed as above on borrower charged with them.
