You must have your valid I.D. card with you in order to enter the library, check out materials, or use the Media Center/Academic Commons.
Circulating books and scores may be checked out for a 4 week (28 day) period, with one renewal option for an additional 4 week period after the item has been out for a minimum of 2 weeks (14 days). The new due date will be 4 weeks from the original due date.
The library offers patrons the possibility of renewing items online from any computer. Users are reminded to note the new due date for the item, as this due date will not be stamped in the book/score itself. Online renewals follow the same procedures as manual renewals: the item must be out for a minimum of 2 weeks (14 days) before the renewal is allowed.
CD and DVD recordings, or items checked out on semester loan may not be renewed.
Overdue notices are sent via e-mail to students' Juilliard e-mail accounts after 1 day and again after 15 days; after 29 days a replacement bill is sent. Users may not check anything out if they have books or scores that are 20 days or more overdue, or CDs/DVDs or equipment that are more than five days overdue.
Other library users may request to have circulating materials "recalled" for their use. Items are recallable after they have been out for a minimum of 7 days.
Patrons may not have more than 40 items checked out at the same time, and may not check out multiple copies of the same item unless needed for performance.
Lost books, scores, or recordings must be reported at once to the Circulation Desk. The Library will order replacement copies through its own vendors; users should not purchase replacement copies themselves. The charge for lost items is the current replacement cost plus a $30.00 processing fee.
Outstanding overdue items and replacement charges will result in a block of the student's record with the Registrar. The student may be prevented from registering or receiving a diploma or transcript until the items are returned or replacement charges are paid.
There is a book drop to the left of the library entrance. Please do not use the book drop when the Library is open; bring items inside. Do not deposit CDs, DVDs, equipment, music from Juilliard's choral library, oversized or fragile items in the book drop. The individual who checks out a work with multiple parts is responsible for returning the entire set intact. Incomplete sets will not be accepted for return. If one or more parts is lost, the borrower will be responsible for the cost of replacing the entire set.
College Division students may check out a maximum of five commercial CD or DVD recordings for a period of one week; no renewals are allowed. Items must be returned with all discs and liner notes intact.
Circulation of CDs/DVDs (both check out and return) takes place at the main circulation desk. Please request assistance in the Media Center or at the circulation desk for access to media materials.
Reference items, periodicals, VHS tapes, LP recordings, cassette recordings, reel tapes, and non-commercial CDs and DVDs do not circulate.
Library materials may not be marked or defaced in any way. The condition of the item is noted at the time of check-out. Users who return an item with new markings, adhesive tape, or damage will be charged the full replacement cost plus a $30.00 processing fee.
RESERVE MATERIALS
Physical reserve materials circulate for a 2-hour period; most are restricted for use within the library. They are renewable twice for a maximum of two hours each time.
Certain reserve books and scores may be checked out overnight, but no earlier than 2 hours before the Library closing time. They are due back the following morning; the exact return time will be specified at the time of check out.
Failure to return library materials constitutes theft and will result in disciplinary actions in accordance with School regulations.
ENSEMBLE CLASS LOANS
Special arrangements can be made for semester loans of items needed for School-authorized chamber music ensembles. Please request an "Ensemble Class Loan" contract from the Circulation Desk. All ensemble loans must have the signed approval of a faculty sponsor and a Library staff member. Semester loans are not renewable.
