Everyone is welcome to use the St. Lawrence University Libraries, however, borrowing policies vary by an individual's relationship to the University. See Borrowing Policies to find the guidelines for students, faculty, staff, alumni, and others.
Renewing a Book
If you need a book or other item longer than the original due date, you can usually renew it. Most books can be renewed twice, allowing students to use them all semester if needed. A book cannot be renewed if another patron has requested it.
You can renew items online using your Library Account, or by visiting or contacting the ODY Service Desk at (315) 229-5451.
Reserves
Reserves are specific books, articles and other materials which faculty have indicated that students must read for a particular course. You can see what is on reserve for your classes through Find Reserves. Reserve materials are located at the ODY Service Desk or Science Library depending on the subject of the course. They can be checked out for short periods of time and must be used within the library.
Faculty information about putting materials on reserve for their classes can be found at Reserve Readings.
