How long can I checkout a book?
Answer
For FSU owned items: Loan times and options for renewal depend on whether your status (undergraduate, graduate, faculty, etc.) as well as the type of material being loaned. Please consult the FSU Libraries Borrowing Materials page to find out more.
For interlibrary loan and UBorrow items: the loan period will depend on the loan period policies of the lending/owning library, and this may vary according to the loan policies of those institutions. Please check the book strap which these departments places on the front covers of the book for those due dates. Find out more on the ILL & Uborrow page.
