Borrowing services are available to distance learners through the library’s Document Delivery services. Library materials will be charged out to your library account and forwarded to your Permanent Address via mail if you live 50 miles outside of Institute, WV.
Individuals who borrow library materials are responsible for adhering to the library rules.
Loan periods and returning or renewing materials:
- Material usually is checked out for 30 days.
- If the end of the semester is LESS then 30days, the default due date is the last day of class
- All materials should return at the end of the semester
- If the campus closes due to virus your checkouts will be extended until the campus opens. (We will adjust due date to that day as we check-in the items so "no fines" will be charged due to the closure.)
You can return materials to the book drop in front of the library or by mail at any time. The library address for mail is: West Virginia State University, Drain-Jordan Library, P.O. Box 1002, Institute, WV 25112.
If you write "Library Rate" on the library package you will be charged less; the borrower is responsible for return postage.
Borrowed items may be renewed via email to
edward.lomax@wvstateu.edu or by calling the circulation desk at 304-766-3116. Distance learners receiving materials through the mail from library collections are subject to the same overdue fines, replacement costs for lost items, and charges for damaged or mutilated materials, as all borrowers. ILL (Interlibrary loans borrowed from other libraries are due when
that library has determined. Please be prompt.)
