Borrowing

University Borrowers

Faculty, staff, researchers, graduate students, and undergraduates must have a valid patron record in the library management system and present a Husky One Card to borrow items. 

Community Members

Residents of the State of Connecticut 18-years of age and older may obtain a library-issued Community Borrowers card for borrowing. The card is free, and applicants must provide proof of residency, e.g. a state-issued ID or driver’s license with current address.

Library Materials

All borrowers are responsible for the care of items checked out and for their return by the due dates (and due time in the case of hourly loans). 

Long Overdue Items

Borrowers may be charged replacement costs and associated processing fees for any items kept 34 (or longer) past the due date. Any UConn Library items billed for replacement may be returned up to one year past the billing date if it is in good condition (as determined by the library). The replacement cost for items returned in good condition is refundable.

Please note replacement fees cannot be refunded for materials borrowed from Interlibrary Loan.
