Background
The Fulfillment Working Group recommends making loan periods the same for all staff and faculty members to better serve the needs of all CSU employees.
- All campuses having a standardized loan period avoids confusion for library users
- A 1 year loan period adequately meets the research needs of faculty while also accommodating those on sabbatical and instructors who teach only one semester of the Academic year
- Eliminates need for frequent renewals and problems resulting from unsuccessful renewal attempts
- Checked out items can be requested through CSU+ where patrons will likely receive items faster than if they place a hold or recall on locally owned materials
Policy Statement
Allow all faculty and staff to check out local main stack items for a minimum of 1 year.
