Most books and other items, including many journals, can be taken out of the library, but other items can't be borrowed. To find out if you can sign a book out, check the BISON record for the book.

Your UM student ID Card is all you need to sign items out. You don't need a separate library card, as you do for the public library.

Books can only be taken out for a limited period of time, and different libraries have different lending periods. If you do not return library books or renew them within the time alloted, you may have to pay a fine!

All library transactions, including items signed out, their due dates, items you have put on hold, and fines owing, are recorded in your confidential Library Account. It's a good idea to monitor your account on a regular basis.
