Overdue Materials
Borrowers who have not returned their materials by the due date will receive a notice from the Library. There is no fine for overdue materials. If a borrower loses library materials, there will be a replacement fee.
Suspension of Library Privileges
Students who fail to respond to overdue notices within the allotted time or fail to pay for replacement of lost materials will find their library privileges suspended. A Banner Hold will be placed on the student's account, until such time as the items are returned or payment is made for lost items.
Course Reserves
Some of the books and videos which are required reading for White Mountains Community College students are placed on reserve by our faculty. Reserves generally do not circulate and must be signed out for use in the library.
Interlibrary Loans
The Library has electronic access to information about many library collections. Students may use the ILL service to borrow materials not owned by the Library, however materials coming from a library outside the Community College System of NH may take from one to two weeks. Please keep this in mind, and ask for these materials as early on in a project as possible.
Library Instruction
Librarians are available to teach library skills on a one-to-one basis, or to classes, by appointment. An instruction session ensures that you know what electronic databases the library has to offer, as well as how to use them most efficiently for your research.
Study Areas and Conference Rooms
The Fortier Library has three separate rooms set aside for private tutoring, group study, or conferences. These rooms are equipped with a computer and Internet connections, and are available to student and staff on a sign-up basis.
Wireless Access to Internet
Those with a laptop and a wireless card (802.11b or 80211g compliant) may access the Internet and print while in the Library.
Student Information System Tips
The Student Information System allows student to access information about courses, grades, and financial aid.If you should need assistance, a Librarian will be happy to help, either in person or by phone.
