The
Library's Circulation Services and Policies
The Circulation Department at Himmelfarb Library is responsible
for the circulation of monograph, journal and reserve materials.
In addition, the Department offers a photo-copy service for
materials held in Himmelfarb Library and maintains the self-service
copiers on the 1st Floor. These copiers are functional
with GWorld personal or departmental cards at the rate of
$0.09 per copy. Problems regarding GWorld cards should be
reported to GWorld office in Marvin Center Suite 501 or at
202-994-1795. Audiovisual materials may be borrowed at the
AV Study Center located on the 3rd Floor of Himmelfarb Library.
Faculty, staff and students of The George Washington University
may borrow materials. Your George Washington ID serves as
a library card once you register at the Circulation desk.
Currently, monographs are loaned for 3 weeks while reserve
material and current 5 years journals circulate for 3 hours.
Monographs can be renewed twice either in person or over the
phone as long as there is not a hold on that item and the
your record is in good standing (call 202-994-2962). Journals
and reserve materials cannot be renewed. Overdue fines are
$0.25 per day for monographs and $1.00 per hour for current
journals and reserve material. For journals older than 5 years
and monographic series, the fine is $1.00 per day. The maximum
fine for an item is $25.00.
The Circulation Department is also charged with enforcing
Himmelfarb Library's Access Policy. The Library's primary
mission is to serve the faculty, staff and students of the
George Washington University Medical Center. Due to limited
space and study facilities, GW University library users not
affiliated with the Medical Center may not use the Library
after 6 pm on weekdays or on weekends. Please be prepared
to show your GW ID when entering the library after 2:00 pm
on weekdays and on weekends.
