OhioLINK overdue fines are 50 cents per day to a maximum of $50 per item. Overdue notices are sent to patrons one day after the due date. Fines begin on the eighth day following the due date. The final notice is a replacement bill. On the eighth day after the due date for OhioLINK items, the fine will be $4 and accumulate at a rate of 50 cents per day thereafter.
When a patron's overdue fines total $10 or more, he or she may not borrow additional items until the fines are paid.
Courtesy Patrons
Courtesy patrons (College of Wooster alumni, families of faculty and staff, junior high/middle school and senior high school students, and other residents of Wayne and surrounding counties) may apply at the Andrews, Gault or Timken Circulation desks for a courtesy patron library card. Holders of courtesy library cards may borrow maximum of five items at a time for up to 21 days and are allowed four renewals. Media materials are limited to in-library use only. Non-Wooster CONSORT and OhioLINK media may be checked out for seven days. Overdue fines for items borrowed by courtesy patrons accrue at 50 cents per day.
Returning Items
Circulating materials from The College of Wooster, CONSORT, or OhioLINK libraries may be returned to any College of Wooster library; however, it is recommended that Timken Science Library materials be returned to the Timken Science Library, and Media Library materials should be returned to the Media circulation desk.
Renewing Items
It is possible to renew College of Wooster, CONSORT & OhioLINK items online except for media materials:
- Go the Check My Library Record link on either the College of Wooster Libraries homepage or the CONSORT catalog.
- Enter your name and barcode (the number on the back of your ID or on the front of your library card). Click the Submit button.
- Once your record appears, Click on the "Items currently checked out" link. Check the renew boxes for each item you would like to renew, then click on the "renew" button. Items cannot be renewed if already overdue or if they have too many renewals already.
- If further assistance is needed, please visit either the Gault Reserves Desk or Andrews Interlibrary Loan Desk, or call campus ext. 2442.
Recalling Items
Should you need an item that is checked out by another patron, and there is no other CONSORT or OhioLINK copy available, you may "recall" that item once the borrowing person has had it checked out for three weeks. Recalled items must be returned to the owning institution immediately, or they will be subject to fines of $1/day. Recalled items are not eligible for renewal. To initiate this process on an item, please contact David Wiebe at the (ext. 2137) or Julia Gustafson (ext. 2315).
Missing Items
Should you find a Wooster item missing that is listed as on the shelf in the CONSORT catalog, please check with a Reference librarian to determine if together you can locate the item. If after Reference assistance, you are still unable to find the item, please fill out an electronic Tracer Form. For items you are unable to locate in the Andrews or Gault Libraries, fill out the Andrews/Gault Tracer Form. For items you are unable to locate in the Science Library, fill out the Missing Science Book Report Form. Completion of these forms sets a multiphase search process in motion and allows you to be notified as soon as your desired item is found.
