Check Out Items

If there’s something in particular you’d like to find, you can search our catalog for the availability and location of the item. Once you’re ready to checkout, please bring the item(s) to the Help Desk with your faculty ID card.

Return Items

If the library is open, please bring the items to a staff member at the Help Desk. If the library is closed, an outdoor book drop is located on the wall to your left, right before you enter the library. A staff member will retrieve the items when the library reopens. Please do not return reserve items, headphones, an external DVD drive, or the USB drive to the book drops. Bring them directly to a staff member during normal operating hours.

Renew an Item

You can ask for a renewal in-person, over the phone, or through our website. To renew an item online, go to My Account, located on the library’s homepage, and log in using your Catawba username and password. Click “Renew” beside the item you would like to renew and your new due date should display under the due date column. If an item is already overdue, you will not be allowed to renew it online. Please contact Nadia Price to renew the item. If you have already renewed a library DVD or book once, we ask that the items be brought in to renew them a second time, since these items are checked out for a period of an academic year.

Holds/Recalls

If there is an item checked out that you need for coursework or research, you can place a hold on the item, which ensures that the item cannot be renewed, and you will be notified when it is returned. Holds cannot be placed on reserve items. Please see the Help Desk to place a hold.

If there is an overdue item that you need for coursework or research, you can request a recall on that item. Recalls requires items to be returned immediately. This applies to all library items, as long as they are already overdue. (Items needed for course reserves can be recalled at any time.) Please see the Help Desk to request a recall.
