Faculty, staff and students must present their University identification cards. Public Borrowers will be asked to show their library card and supporting photo identification or their Library ONEcard. Delaware Technical and Community College and Delaware State University students will be asked to show their institution\u2019s ID card and their University of Delaware Library borrower card or their Library ONEcard. All IDs must be currently valid in the Library\u2019s borrower database. The individual associated with the ID or library card is solely responsible for all materials borrowed on his or her card. ID cards and library cards are non-transferable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Blocks<\/h2>\n<p>Borrowers are individually responsible for keeping track of due dates and for returning or renewing library material by the date due. If a borrower has overdue items on their account, they will be blocked from borrowing items until they have either renewed or returned the overdue items. University of Delaware students, faculty and staff may renew items eligible for renewal in <a href=\"https:\/\/delcat.primo.exlibrisgroup.com\/discovery\/account?vid=01UDEL_INST:01UDEL_INST&amp;section=loans\">My Account<\/a> via DELCAT.<!--Library materials not returned by the set due date will result in the system setting up a block on the borrower's account. Accounts that are blocked are unable to request new items, or renew any current ones on their accounts. Blocks may be removed upon return of overdue materials.--> Consistently assessing blocks on a borrower\u2019s account may result in borrowing privileges being restricted for the remainder of the semester.<\/p>\n<h2>Overdue Library Materials<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All fees are assessed consistently. If library material is not returned or renewed by the thirtieth day after the due date, the borrower is charged a replacement fee. An invoice processing fee is also charged. If a billed item is returned undamaged, the replacement fee may be waived. Processing fees are not waived, since the library has already incurred the cost of processing. (For further details on borrower responsibility for damaged library materials, please see the next section on this page.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>For fees related to Film &amp; Video materials, please see the policy <a href=\"https:\/\/library.udel.edu\/filmandvideo\/film-video-collection-fines\/\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"damaged\"><\/a>Damaged Library Materials<\/h2>\n<p>Borrowers will be billed for damaged library materials.
