Borrowing materials from the IUPUI University Library is considered a privilege rather than a right. Lending periods and borrowing privileges vary according to the status of the user, but the use of a valid borrower's card to check out materials implies acceptance by the borrower to abide by the assigned due dates and to return the materials in good order. Failure to meet either condition may result in fines and/or the loss of privileges.
Martin University faculty, staff and students wishing to obtain a borrower's card must complete an Indiana Resident Library Card Application and User Agreement (PDF) and provide their Martin University ID along with proof of current address.
The following table displays the general limits set by the University Library beginning 1/1/2001:
Status | Loan Period | AV Loan Period | Course Reserves | Borrowing Limits | AV Borrowing | Interlibrary Loan Service |
Martin University Faculty | 120 days | 14 days | Yes | 125 items | 10 items | Yes |
Martin University Staff | 120 days | 14 days | Yes | 50 items | 10 items | Yes |
Martin University Students | 45 days | 14 days | Yes | 50 items | 10 items | Yes |
- Current journal issues and bound journal volumes do not circulate.
The borrowing privileges of any patron may be suspended if and when they reach any of the limits listed above or in the table below. This block will prevent that patron from checking out materials from any library in the Indiana University Library system.
Category | Overdue Limits | Special Limits | Fine Limits |
Martin University Faculty | 25 Overdue Items | 1 Overdue Reserve, ILL or Recalled item | $500 |
Martin University Staff | 25 Overdue Items | 1 Overdue Reserve, ILL or Recalled item | $250 |
Martin University Students | 10 Overdue Items | 1 Overdue Reserve, ILL or Recalled item | $250 |
University Library also reserves the right to block the system-wide library privileges of any user if the address on file is no longer valid.
Martin University students and faculty may also use University Library's interlibrary loan service for academic purposes. There is no cost for placing requests, but the student is responsible for any overdue fines or replacement fees charged by the lending library.
