A recall on University materials shortens the original loan period. Only University Borowers and the Course Reserves Department can recall University items. University items are eligible for recall from:
Any patron if the item is needed for Course Reserves.
SJSU Extended Borrowers at any time. If recalled, the extended borrower will be allowed to have the item for a minimum of three weeks.
Need for the Policy
The University collection must be available for Course Reserves, so patrons who borrow these materials must know that they may be recalled at any time. SJSU Extended Borrowers may check out material for extended loans, but must return the material if it is needed by another University borrower or for Course Reserves.
Requirements & Guidelines
Only SJSU materials can be recalled.
SJSU materials can be recalled from any borrower at any time if needed for Course Reserves.
