Checking Out Books
West Texas library utilizes a self-checkout system. Instruction sheets are posted in the
library. Books may be checked out anytime during library hours or at other times by arrangement.
No more than 26 books may be checked out at any one time. Students may renew their checked out
books one time by accessing their record through the My Account tab in the online catalog. However,
if another student has placed a hold on the same book, the checkout period for the book will be
reduced to two weeks. If a book is needed for Reference, the library may recall the book immediately.
Students in possession of books needed for Reference or Reserve must return the book by the date
requested or be subject to fines.
Library / I.D. Cards
All Denver Seminary students must have a current Denver Seminary Photo I.D. card in order to check
out library materials. Using another student's ID card for any purpose, including checking out library
material, is prohibited.
New students are issued a student photo ID card at the beginning of their first semester. Students
must complete an application form online. ID cards will be processed at the main Denver Seminary
library after receipt of ID photos and sent to the D.C site for student pick up. Barcodes (applied on
the back of the student ID cards) are necessary for library checkout privileges. Returning students
must renew their library privileges each academic year. This can be accomplished by presenting their
Denver Seminary Photo I.D. to the library staff.
Fines
Late fees for overdue general collection books are 25 cents per book per day. Fines will also be
charged on items not properly checked-out. In most cases, a lost or damaged item results in a fine of
$80.00. Refusal to pay fines or habitual violation of library policies may result in suspension of library
privileges as well as a hold placed upon the student's diploma. Higher late fees may be charged for
limited checkout materials such as Reserve items.
