Media Collection and Use
The Mansfield Library houses approximately 15,000 videos and DVDs, 7,000 CDs, and 1,000 audio books. This collection of media is available for use according to the individual patron group. All UM faculty, staff and students are eligible to check out media for research or personal use. Mansfield Library Borrowers also may check out media from the library. Other patron groups are ineligible to check out media. Please see Circulation Loan Policies below. Faculty or students are encouraged to schedule media in advance for class presentations to insure its availability. There is an online form for MEDIA BOOKING
Overdue Material, Fines and Fees
Material borrowed from the Mansfield Library will be due back on the date and time specified at the time of checkout. A paper receipt will be provided at check out. Library users will be notified by e-mail only about pending overdue material, overdue material, and finally, after 45 days, it will be declared lost. At this time charges will be assessed to the library user and circulation privileges will be blocked. In addition to the overdue charges ($20 maximum) and an item replacement cost, there is a non-refundable processing charge of $10 per item. If material is returned damaged, repair or replacement charges may be assessed. All lost and returned materials remain the property of the Mansfield Library.
All notices are sent to UM library user's official University of Montana e-mail address, which for students is their umontana.edu address. It is the user's responsibility to inform the library if there is a change in e-mail address or University status that prevents the user from continuing to posses a UM e-mail account. Non UM library user notices are sent to their personal e-mail address.
Replacement charges are based on yearly average replacement costs published in Bowker Annual of Library and Book Trade Information or the actual replacement cost of the item.
Please see Circulation Policies below for specific information regarding recall, reserve, media and journal fines.
