Policies
Flint River Technical College students, faculty, and staff can borrow library materials by presenting a current school identification card. Gordon College students and community members with Georgia Pines library cards can check out books also.
Circulation of Materials
Materials in the general collection circulate
for a two-week period for all patrons. They may be renewed as often as
needed providing there are no holds on a title. Faculty and students are
permitted to check out reference material needed for a special project
by arrangement with the librarian. All library materials circulated within
a given school quarter are due back in the library by the last day of classes
of that quarter.
Non-Circulating Materials
Reference materials do not circulate. Reference materials include almanacs,
dictionaries, directories, encyclopedias, indexes and other items of
general reference nature. These resources must be readily available to
all library staff and users. Videotapes and periodicals do not circulate.
Exceptions exist as noted above.
Overdue Fines
It is the responsibility of the patron to insure return of library items
in a timely manner. When an overdue notice is sent to students through
their instructor or through the mail, the fines will begin on the date
noted in the letter. Faculty and staff will receive reminders through
campus mail. Students with overdue books may have a hold placed on their
student record that affects financial aid, grades, registration, and
graduation status. All fines must be paid in full in order to remove
the hold.
Lost or Damaged Books
Any book that is lost or damaged beyond repair while circulating will result
in a replacement cost. Books are replaced with current edition. All replacement
costs must be paid in full to have the hold taken from the student’s
records.
Interlibrary Loan
Flint River Technical College Library is a member of the GOLD [Georgia
OnLine Database] interlibrary loan network. Membership in GOLD permits
our library to electronically transact interlibrary loan requests with
GOLD-member libraries statewide, as well as with other states comprising
the Southeastern Library Information Network interlibrary loan system.
Interlibrary loan requests must be initiated by filling out an interlibrary
loan request form within the library and agreeing to all terms and conditions
of the lending library.
