Library Card

All materials are checked out at the Circulation Desk using a Normandale Library card. Students must obtain a campus photo ID (NCC Card) in order for the Library to activate a Library account.
Stop at the Circulation Desk with your campus photo ID to activate your Library Barcode Number. You will need to know your Library Barcode Number to take advantage of user services that allow you to: 

• Check out library materials including Reserve materials.
• View your library account
• Renew books online
• Borrow materials from another library (interlibrary loan).
• Access article databases from off campus.
  

Reserve Materials

Books, articles, videos, and other media assigned for class reading or viewing are placed on Reserve by instructors to ensure availability to students. Find these materials at the Circulation desk.
Reserve items are checked out on a first-come, first-served basis. You may charge out up to 15 items at a time.

Most Reserve items are loaned for one- or two-hour periods, but some items may be checked out overnight or for up to a week. All overnight and two-, three-, and seven-day items are due back at the hour they were checked out. Please check your date due receipt closely for the time due.

Reserve items may be renewed only once.
