Recall Policy for Paideia Research

During the Paideia I research paper period, any library books checked out to students in Paideia I are subject to recall by other Paideia I students after just three days instead of the regular recall period which is two weeks.

To recall a book for your Paideia research, go to the Circulation Desk and fill out a recall card for each book. All Paideia I students are expected to respond in a timely manner to recall requests so others can use the same sources. You should make effective use of materials checked out in anticipation that others may request them.

Fines will begin when you do not return your book as requested.

The library’s regular recall policy still applies to all other situations. Books checked out by students not in Paideia I are not subject to recall, even by Paideia I students, until two weeks after checkout.

Interlibrary Loan Policy for Paideia research

As many of the items in the collection at Preus Library are selected with Paideia I research in mind, Interlibrary Loan privileges are not allowed for Paideia I research except in rare cases.

If you feel that you need something that is not available in Preus Library, please consult with the librarian who is working with your section. In many cases, the librarian will be able to help you find other resources that will fill your needs.

Working with the Reference Librarians

There are seven librarians who staff the Reference Desk in Preus Library throughout the week. Paideia students have several ways of working with a librarian:

• Contact the librarian working with your section (see the 2007 list of topics or your print guide to contact the librarian);
• Come to the Reference Desk in Preus Library and meet with the librarian on duty; or
• Come to the Reference Desk in Preus Library and sign up for a time to consult a librarian.
