Information on longstanding checkouts
Library materials checked out and renewed at least five times will NOT be eligible for manual or auto-renewal this year. For faculty, these are items you’ve had since 2017 or earlier.
With the summer migration to a new library system, the Libraries configured a limit of 5 renewals after the first checkout, for a total of 72 months for faculty and 36 months for staff and graduate students. Once you return items you have checked out you may check them out again, but they are still subject to recall by other University of Nevada, Reno users.
- Drop off at DeLaMare, Knowledge Center, or Savitt Library (exterior book drops are available 24/7 at each location)
