If you need an item that is checked out, you can recall it. Simply click the Recall link on InfoHawk and
follow the directions to place the recall. The person who has the item will be contacted by the library and given a
new due date. When the item is returned, you'll receive a notice that it is available for pick-up. If you are unable to recall an item through InfoHawk, please use our Recall Request Form.
Items you have checked out can also be recalled from you. You will receive a recall notice giving a new due date.
Recall overdue fines are high and having overdue recalls can block you from checking out new items. If you still
need an item, return it to a circulation desk and ask for it to be recalled back for you (except those recalled for
Reserve).
Everyone is guaranteed two weeks with an item that has a four-week (or longer) loan, and then it can be recalled.
If an item is needed for Reserve, it can be recalled immediately (no two week guarantee), and it can't be recalled
back for you.
Promptly returning recalled items is of the utmost importance. When classes are in session, being out of town,
failing to maintain a current address, or failing to check your email account will not be considered a valid excuse
for their delayed return. To avoid recall fines when being out of town, please either return your library items or
make sure that someone can respond to your mail and return recalled items.
