The loan period is 14 days for students, staff, and faculty. Webcams must be checked out and dropped off during regular library hours. Webcams are not eligible for renewal. Webcams must be returned to the library circulation desk from where they originated.

Fines and Damages

A $5 late fee will be assessed for each day the Webcam is returned past its due date. Fines will be recorded on the borrower’s library record and may result in borrowing and registration restrictions.
