  • TRLN Direct books have a maximum loan period of 120 days. Faculty/Grad students: 90-day loan with one 30-day renewal. Undergrads/Staff: 30-day loan with three 30-day renewals.
  • To avoid overdue fines and blocked renewals, renew items on or before the due date.
  • Videocassettes, DVDs, Reserve items, and other selected items may not be renewed online.
  • Items recalled by another borrower may not be renewed.
  • The Library does not offer renewals by telephone.
