*   ID Required

• Current YSU students, faculty and staff must present a valid YSU ID (valid only if your current validation sticker is attached to the back of the ID.  Students:  if you do not have a validation sticker for the current quarter, check with the Bursar--2nd Floor, Meshel Hall.  Faculty and staff should check with Human Resources, Tod Hall ). Additionally, you must have a library barcode attached to your ID. To get a library barcode, you must register at the Circulation desk, Main Floor Lobby. Your barcode is good as long as you are a current student, faculty member or staff member.
• Friends of Maag Library and members of the YSU Alumni Association have limited borrowing privileges. Members of these organizations must register at the Circulation Desk to receive a library barcode.

• Fines for overdue materials are 10 cents per day (including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays). Maximum fine is $11 per book. Non-returned or lost books are charged at the price of the book plus the fine (up to $11 per book) plus $10 processing fee.

Where do I check out books?
To check out books, you must take them to the Circulation Desk, Main Floor Lobby. Circulating documents must be checked out in the Government Documents area, Sixth Floor, when that area is open. (When the Documents area is not open, check out those materials at the Circulation desk, Main Floor).

What can I do if a book is checked out, missing, or not owned by Maag Library?
If the book you need is checked out, missing, or not owned by YSU, you may search the OhioLINK Central Catalog, the combined catalogs of the OhioLINK consortium colleges and universities. You may borrow books online through the Central Catalog as long as they are available. See  Online Borrowing Through The Central Catalog for more information.  Books will be sent to Maag Library and held at the Circulation Desk, Main Floor, for ten days. You are responsible for checking your circulation record on MaagNet to know if the book has arrived--you will not be notified by the library. (See Viewing your Circulation Record). Books usually arrive in 3-5 working days. If your book has not arrived in one week, please check with a Reference librarian (330/742-3686) or Circulation staff member (330/742-3678) to see if there is a problem.
