About Recalls
- A "Recall" of library materials is when a borrower's loan is shortened due to need for the item.
- This could be because the owning library needs it back, or it could be another individual has requested it.
- A recall usually changes the due date to either 14 days from date of recall or the remainder of the current loan, whichever is shorter.
- In the event that an item is recalled by a library, rather than an individual, this may differ.
- Recalled items cannot be renewed.
- Any item can be recalled at any time.
- The library system sends out automated courtesy notices for recalled items.
- All automatic communications from the system are sent as a courtesy. Failure to receive one does not constitute justification for failure to return an item on-time.
- Borrowers can always check the status of their items using the My Account section of the library catalog.
- All items' current due dates will appear on the "Items borrowed / renewals" section.
- The library system sends out automated courtesy notices for recalled items.
- When books are recalled by individuals, the copy that has been on loan the longest is recalled first.
