Circulation

     All borrowing privileges are available to Millikin students, faculty, staff, alumni, family of faculty and trustees. These privileges include loans of Millikin's circulating materials, placement of saves on our materials and interlibrary loan services.
     Reciprocal borrowing privileges are granted to those holding cards from other ILCSO libraries, Richland Community College and Decatur Public Library. Residents of Macon County not holding one of the above cards may pay a $5.00 borrowing fee to obtain a card which is valid for two years. These patrons may not use interlibrary loan services which should be handled by the patron's primary service library. A valid card must be presented for all borrowing privileges.

Reserves

     When an entire class is required to read a specific chapter in a book, an article in a periodical or use audiovisial materials as a part of an assignment, an instructor may place the item on reserve in the library to increase access. A notebook on the circulation desk lists the items on reserve for each faculty member.

Students must present an ID card to borrow any item leaving the library and abide strictly by the loan periods. Fines are $1.00 per day to a maximum of $10.00.
