If you lose or damage an item, you are responsible for providing a replacement. Email us at frontdesk@usmalibrary.org with the title/author of the lost item. We will respond with replacement instructions.
Once you have the replacement item, bring it to the Front Desk. The staff member will make a note in your account that you brought a replacement item to the library. The staff member will bring it to the head of our Collection department who will approve or disapprove of the replacement. If it is approved, the item will be removed from your account. If it is not approved, we will contact you.
If a replacement copy is not available, you will be charged $100. Payment is required in the form of a money order or check made out to the “Treasurer of the United States.” We strongly prefer you replace the item.
If you have materials in a “billed” status, you will not be able to check out additional materials or collaborative rooms.
