This page contains comprehensive information for all off-campus library services. Please contact us if you have any questions. Content on this page includes: General Policies, Photocopying Policies, Book Loan/Delivery Policies, Circulating Materials, Non-Circulating Materials, Loan Periods, and Overdue Fees.

• Allow at least 7 working days for delivery because holidays and weekends may add extra time.
• Please prioritize requests: we reserve the right to limit the number of materials provided to an individual and the right to prioritize requests processed.
• Borrowers are responsible for all loaned materials: FEES will be assessed for overdue, lost, or damaged items. Unreturned items and unpaid fees will result in holds on Seminary transcripts.

• Photocopies will be mailed by U.S. mail.
• All photocopies become the property of the user and can be kept.
• Photocopies of specific journal articles (not entire issues) may be provided.

• Circulating materials will be shipped to residences via U.S. Postal Service.
• Circulating materials are loaned for a guaranteed period of 2 weeks and then can be recalled by another user.
• All materials must be returned directly to the branch library that loaned them. The band around the cover displays the lending branch.
• A mailing label is included with all loaned materials for return via the U.S. Postal Service.
• If you return materials close to the due date, renew these items in order to avoid overdue fees.
• If you return items to the wrong branch, you will be assessed a $5.00 processing fee for each item.
• Book loan services are not currently available outside of the United States.
