3. AVOIDING FINES!!!!!!!!!!  For books from the Law Library, ALWAYS use a shelf collection to avoid paying any fines at graduation time (a student with fines and unreturned books will have his/her student account blocked meaning that he/she will be able to participate in graduation but will not receive a diploma or transcript until the books are returned and the fines paid).  The books never leave the library so no one individual is held responsible for them.  These can be established by the article editor at the circulation desk. Each article can get a different shelf collection.  Books are “checked out” to a designated shelf in the library on the fourth floor. Books are “checked out” for the semester and can be extended if still needed. The books are always available in one location for everyone on the staff to come and use.

4. AVOID FINES: Build Digital Shelf Collections  Shelf collection rules:  Only books from the Law Library can go on a shelf (no books from other CU libraries or ILLs.  Books cannot leave the library (that is how you avoid fines)  Avoiding fines at CU libraries on campus:  Always keep track of the due date and remember to renew the book. Renewing is easy and can be done by logging in to your library account through CLIO (upper right hand side of the screen). Remember to check your email for due date notices.  Keep the book in your own possession and leave scans in the journal office or put the scans in a digital dropbox for the article.  If the book has to be shared among staffers, make sure you always know where it is so you can return it.  If you have overdue books and fines the CU libraries will place a hold on your account, meaning that you cannot register for classes, receive a transcript, or get a diploma until the books have been returned and the fines cleared (participation in graduation will still be allowed).

5. Library Policies  You are responsible for retrieving any sources on the Morningside Campus (no ILL needed)  ILL is to be done only at the reference desk in the law library (DO NOT use borrow direct or Butler ILL)  Know the name and Columbia email address of your article editor (this is used in placing all ILL requests)  ILL requests can take up to 10 business days so do not wait until the last minute to make requests  Article Editors may set up shelf collections at the Circulation Desk for all items retrieved from the law library  Watch for overdue fines and lost books!
