Gerie,



The WCC library has no Board approved policies, so we have ‘guidelines’ that we create on the department level.

Once student have material out and overdue that exceed $100 in value we block ALMA and Class Registration.

Hello:



Does anyone like their book checkout policy a lot? Maybe you like it because it's effective/your books are returned at a high rate? What is that policy?



Do you have a limit on how many overdue books a student can have on their record before they are blocked in Alma from checking out more?



Thanks!



Gerie
