Arrangement 
Approximately 122,000 book volumes are housed in open stacks for users to browse and select materials. The call number is the location symbol for the books, which are classified according to the Library of Congress classification system, a combination of letters and numbers. The key to locating books is the online catalog.

Circulation Policies 
The Circulation Desk is the primary service point. Students are encouraged to ask for assistance here, at the Periodicals Desk, or the library offices. Your ID is required to borrow materials. Students may checkout regular circulating books for three weeks. Graduate student checkout is the end of their class semester. Renewals are available via the online catalog, or by returning to the Circulation Desk. Fines are 10 cents per day per book. Reserve items are chosen by the teacher and have short loan periods or no checkout. Reserve fines are 25 cents per day per book. Fines are cut in half if paid when the book is returned. Fines owed are due by noon the last class day of each semester. Fines of $1.00 or more are doubled and applied to the student's account by the Business Office. This amount must be paid along with any other fees owed to obtain a transcript. This policy is in effect each enrollment period: semester, summer session, and short course. Lost books are assessed the cost of the book + an inflation fee + a nonrefundable processing fee. If the lost book is returned, the Business Office credits the student account for the book cost. Reference books, periodicals, microforms, and newspapers are in-library use only. Interlibrary loan is available for items not owned by LCU, please refer to the ILL information guide for procedures.
