Patron Privacy Rights

The University Library is committed to protecting the privacy rights of all library users. We do not disclose the identity of any library user who has checked out an item needed by another library user.

On occasion, an instructor will attempt to check out a title from our collection for classroom use only to find that the title is already checked out. While we can never disclose the identity of the person who holds the item, we are happy to act as an intermediary and attempt to convey the instructor's need.

The best way to ensure that an item is available when you need it is to use our booking service.
