封禁借款人帐户 due to Long Overdue (“Billed”) Items:

2011年秋季通过

新政策

The new policy states that items you have checked out which become long overdue (“billed”), will result in your library borrowing privileges being suspended (“blocked”), 直到以下任一时刻:

  1. 你把书带回到图书馆,或者
  2. 您支付该物品的更换费

Prompt return of the item/s in question will result in the replacement cost being cleared from your account, 你的借款权限也恢复了.

从以前的政策的变化

在旧政策中, 如果你有很长时间的逾期或“账单”项目, 每件商品都要你支付更换费, as well as a $10 non-refundable processing fee; however, 您的图书馆权限仍然有效. In the new policy, the $10 processing fee is no longer being charged. Your borrowing privileges are suspended until you pay the replacement cost for the material, 或者你把材料退了.

这适用于

The policy applies to all physical library materials that can be checked out.

常见问题的

不,只是借用一下特权. You may still consult books and some other collections while you are in the library. 然而, you will NOT be able to use collections or services which require active borrowing privileges, 例如课程储备, 流通台媒体或馆际互借.

Prompt return of items on the date they are due is the best way to avoid having your borrowing privileges suspended. The 图书馆 also sends (to your campus email account) courtesy and overdue notices to remind you of items which may be coming due or are overdue.

Items can also be renewed online in the MnPALS 图书馆 Catalog. 请参阅更新说明.

The exact time at which your loan privileges are blocked depends on the overdue item/s in question. For example, books from the 1st and 4th floor are billed about 4 weeks after the item/s are due. 此时此刻, you would receive a notice from the 图书馆 notifying you of the block to your library account. Items with shorter loan periods (例如课程储备 or audiovisual materials) will generate a block in a shorter span of time.

To have your borrowing privileges reinstated, you can either:

  1. 将有问题的资料带回图书馆,或
  2. Pay the replacement fee for the item/s at the BSU Cashiers Office

要看情况而定. Your privileges are immediately reinstated after all items for which you have been billed are returned to the 图书馆, at which point you can check out materials as normal. 然而, if you have lost the item/s and pay the replacement fee at the BSU Cashiers Office, it may take a few days for our system to be updated and your privileges reinstated.

Your privileges will be reinstated once the long overdue/billed items are returned to the 图书馆. One way to get the materials back to the 图书馆 would be to have your parents return the items in question to a local MnSCU campus library, 并要求通过MINITEX快递将它们送到BSU. 请注意: this is a courtesy provided by MINITEX and participating libraries; it is still the patron’s responsibility to make sure items are returned to the A. C. 克拉克图书馆. Another option is to have your parents mail the items directly to the A. C. 克拉克图书馆.

是的. Patrons with blocked borrowing privileges may still consult books and some other collections while they are in the library. 然而, they will NOT be able to use collections or services which require active borrowing privileges, 例如课程储备, 流通台媒体或馆际互借.

BSU的学生, faculty and staff may pay the replacement fee in the Cashiers Office (2nd floor Deputy Hall). 社区的借款人 must pay the fee at the 图书馆 循环 desk. Please note that it make take several days for our system to be updated after the fee is paid at the Cashiers Office.

是的. When the replacement charge is placed on your account at Cashier’s, you must pay that (and any other charges) before your campus account will be cleared for registering. 记住,, 一旦逾期的材料被退回, the charge (and block) will be removed from your accounts.

别担心! Overdue items can often be renewed for another loan period, avoiding replacement fees and a block on your 图书馆 account. 请参阅更新说明.
