USF Libraries Borrowing Policies
All Books Are Subject to Recall (Early Return)
After 3 weeks, all books are subject to recall for use by another library patron. If a book is recalled, recall due dates supersede the original due date. Recalled books which are returned after the recall due date are subject to additional fines. Learn how to renew materials online, or login now »Borrowing Policy Quick Reference
