Due to COVID-19 Related Health and Safety Restrictions, NJIT is Not Participating in Reciprocal Borrowing During the Fall 2020 Semester
Full-time faculty, staff members, graduate students and undergraduate students from participating VALE libraries who are in good standing at their home library qualify for onsite borrowing privileges at NJIT. Faculty members with adjunct status at VALE institutions are not eligible for NJIT borrowing privileges.
Guest borrower card and barcode will be issued. The card is valid for the current academic year, with an expiration date of June 30. The card must be renewed following each June 30th.
Loan Periods
The guest loan period is 28 days for all materials charged out. Only 28 day circulating material may be borrowed.
The guest may borrow up to 10 items.
Returns
Return NJIT materials directly to the NJIT library. Return materials from other libraries directly back to those libraries.
Recalls
All materials on loan are subject to recall. If an NJIT patron recalls a book, you will be notified by email to return the book before the normal due date.
Recalled material must be returned within 48 hours of notification. If not returned, you will be immediately billed for the price of the book plus a $10 processing fee.
Guest borrowers are not eligible for recall privileges.
Fines and fees
28 day circulating material late charge: $1.00 per day, per item.
If not returned, after 2 weeks you will be billed for price of the item plus a $10 processing fee.

Borrower responsibilities:
all books checked out on your card
the return of borrowed materials on time
any fines or fees charged to your account

If the other VALE lending library is unable to get you to return materials, pay fines, or otherwise settle your accounts, you will be liable to NJIT for those materials and charges.

Borrowing materials is a privilege that may be revoked by library staff whenever deemed necessary.
