Circulation Rules
Loan Period: GIL Express has a 28-day loan period for all patrons. Two automatic renewals are given unless a hold has been placed on the book.
Recall Fines: If a USG library chooses to charge recall fines for GIL Express materials, the fines will be $2.50 a day for each recalled item. Recall fines apply to all patrons.
Statewide vs. Local Policies: All USG Libraries have agreed upon most of the policies that govern GIL Express. However, some policies, such as the number of items that may be borrowed from a specific institution, are set locally. This means that the Holding Library (the library that owns the material) and the Home Library (patron’s library) have control of certain policies. These local policies are available from each library, usually on the library's web page.
