General Collection items may be renewed up to two (2) times. This is not possible if a recall is placed on an item. Renewals can be made only at the Library, when the renewal limit is reached, the patron must bring the item(s) to the library.

Return
Items borrowed from the Notre Dame Rome library should be returned to the Notre Dame Rome library.
Overdue Items
All users are responsible for tracking due dates for materials they have borrowed and for returning items on time. The library will send up to two reminder notices when items are overdue. Users who don’t respond to the emails nor return books on time will lose library privileges. Borrowers are responsible for a replacement fee for lost books.
Course Reserves
In order to reserve books for a course they are teaching, faculty members can submit up to two weeks before the beginning of each semester a list of items they would like to include under the Course Reserves. The library staff will take care of cataloging the item and make it available for the students.
