Borrowing Privileges

All current students, faculty, and staff who have been given an muih.edu email accounts are granted borrowing privileges. Community members and alumni are required to provide credit card information and a viable email address in order to borrow library materials. The library does not support remote borrowing of physical materials. Patrons may borrow materials in person at the library.

Our regular collection loan period is four weeks for all active patrons. To support academics and our University’s growth, the maximum items a student, faculty, or board member can borrow is 15 items. For staff, community members, and alumni, their maximum number of checkouts is three items.

Computer Access & Use

Library computers are available for use by patrons and visitors. Time periods of use may be limited if individuals are engaging in work that is not school-related.

Overdue Notifications, Fines, and Graduation Holds

Prior to due dates for checked out items, borrowers will be sent courtesy email reminders stating that the items are due shortly. Once an item is overdue, a patron will receive three overdue notices via email. Fines will start accruing the day after an item is due at a rate of 20 cents per item per day. After the second overdue notification the fines will to increase to 50 cents per item per day until the item(s) is returned. If no action is taken, a fourth and final notice will be sent with an itemized invoice of the item(s) not returned to the library. The patron is responsible for paying the full cost of the item, including taxes and fees, and fines accrued at that time. The patron’s borrowing privileges will be revoked until the item is returned or replacement cost is paid in full. Students with outstanding fines and bills may be held back from graduation.

Space to Rest or Meditate

The library, and all of MUIH, is a special place, offering resources or programs that are compelling and uncommon. The library acknowledges that individuals may commute long distances to experience what MUIH and the library have to offer and permits napping or meditating in our regular stacks area. Blankets and pillows are available. Those engaged in meditation or napping do so with the understanding that they may be disturbed if patrons require books that are shelved in the section where they have decided to rest, and that the library maintains a information commons atmosphere where talking and collaborative work are acceptable.
