Who May Check Out Materials?

• All persons with valid TU ID cards or access cards may enter the MLIC and check out materials for use within the facility.
• Local attorneys with access cards permitting circulation privileges
• TU students, faculty, and staff may borrow materials to circulate outside the facility.

To check out materials for use within or outside the MLIC you will need your valid TU ID or access card. The INNOPAC system has an automated circulation system and materials are charged out for varying lengths of time depending on their status. [SEE Circulation Periods, below]. Please be aware that we have a security system at the entrance/exit and an alarm will sound if any materials are not properly checked out. If the alarm sounds, please return to the Circulation Desk.

Circulation Periods

Circulating treatises may be checked out to students for four weeks and for two weeks to attorneys with access cards which have borrowing privileges.

Some materials circulate for three days including CLE materials, Nutshells, hornbooks, bound periodicals, video tapes, audio cassettes, and supplemented one volume treatises. Faculty may check out materials for a more extended time period. Renewals may be made at the Circulation Area or through the INNOPAC by the individual. Renewals can not be placed if there are requests for the item.

Reserve materials

While the MLIC is open, reserve materials may be checked out for two hours with a valid I.D. or access card at the desk and may be used within the facility only. Some reserve items may have shorter or longer loan periods and the Circulation Assistant will inform you of them at the time of checkout. Reserve materials can be renewed if no one else has requested them. While the MLIC is closed, materials approved for overnight use may be checked out to law students two hours before the closing of the library and are to be returned within one hour after the next opening of the MLIC. For example, a Reserve book checked out after 10:00 p.m., Wednesday will be due Thursday morning before 8:30 a.m. Except under special circumstances, these materials can not be renewed.

Fines, per item

Reserve fines will be assessed. Lost materials are billed at cost, plus administrative processing costs. Notices will be sent to patrons via email for overdue or lost materials or unpaid Reserve fines. If a patron does not respond, charges will be sent to the Business Office. Until the record is cleared, the patron's future registration will be affected, and transcripts will be held. Access card holders who do not respond to notices risk having MLIC privileges revoked.

Materials Checked Out/Missing?

If the item you want is checked out (INNOPAC will show a due date) please check with the Circulation Desk for more information on how to place a personal hold or recall. If you cannot find the materials you need, and INNOPAC does not show a due date, please notify the staff at the Circulation Desk and a search request form will be filled out. The Circulation or Stack Maintenance Staff will conduct a search and notify you if the missing item is found. Interlibrary Loan may be used to obtain materials which cannot be located.

Document Delivery:

The MLIC provides a fee-based photocopy service for current Access Card holders who reside in Tulsa. In accordance with copyright protection, photocopies of cases, statutes, journal articles and book chapters will be provided upon request.
