Library Frequently Asked Questions

What are the hours of the library and computer lab?

The library and the computer lab have different hours. Please see the Location & Hours page for a list of both. When the library is closed, the group study rooms are locked.

I forgot my ID. Can I still checkout library materials?

A current Logan ID or state issued ID (driver's license) are required to check out library materials.

How long is the checkout period for books, media, bones, etc?

Checkout periods are different for various materials. Please see the Policies & Fines page for a complete list.

How many items can be checked out?

A total of 50 items may be checked out a time. In addition, the following applies:
Books & Journals - Up to 50 books and/or journals may be checked out at a time.
DVDs & CDs - Up to 12 total media items may checked out a time.
Bones & Models - Up to 50 bones and models may checked out at a time, however you may not duplicate bone parts.

Are there any circulating copies of a reserve book?

In some cases, we do have circulating copies of reserve books that can be checked out. Please see the library catalog to find out if we have additional available copies.

Is there a time limit for reserve books? Can more than one be checked out at a time? May I place a hold on reserve books? Can you tell me who has the reserve book out?

There is not a time limit on reserve books, they are due back same day by closing time and can not leave the LRC. You may have more than one reserve book at a time. Holds can not be placed on reserve items, however you may ask who has the item checked out (please note that this only applies to reserve books).

Can I put an item on hold?

You may place a hold on circulating copies of books, media, or journals through the library catalog. You may not place a hold on a book that you have an additional copy checked out in your name. Bones and models and reserve items can not be placed on hold.

Can I renew my materials?

You may renew books, journals, or media items in person, or through the library catalog. Bones and models are not renewable and must be returned by the due date/time to avoid fines. To renew in person, please have a valid ID (Logan ID or state issued ID). You do not have to have the materials with you at time of renewal. To renew online, choose View Your Library Account in the library catalog.

I'm trying to renew my materials online. Isn't my name and campus ID the same as my Logan email?

The Logan catalog is a shared catalog system with other academic libraries and is not the same as a Logan's email or Self Service system. When you enter your name, do not put a period between your first and last name. Example: jane doe (do not enter as jane.doe) Your campus ID is your 9 digit student number followed by LCC.
Example: 123456789lcc
