The Affinity Libraries offer a wealth of materials for those who care for patients and for those who wish to be well-informed about health and wellness.
In the interest of good stewardship, we need to keep track of who uses library materials so that our collections can continue to be available to Affinity staff members and customers.
Our Simple Procedures for Checking Out Library Materials:
Locate the check-out card(s) on the inside or outside back covers.
Clearly write your full name and department on the card(s)
(No initials, please.)
Drop the card(s) in the black boxes on or near each library’s service desk.
We will verify your contact information in our computer system and check the materials out to you.
Your contact information will be kept confidential. Once we have checked out the material in our computer system, we’ll cross your name off the card(s).
Professional Library materials should be returned in two weeks. Consumer Health materials should be returned in four weeks.
If you do not return your materials on time, we will send you an overdue notice. PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE NOT TRYING TO HARASS YOU. WE ARE SIMPLY TRYING TO GET OUR MATERIALS BACK SO THAT OTHERS CAN USE THEM.
Items marked “Reference” and medical, nursing, and allied health journals are to be used within the library. You are welcome to photocopy information that you need, but these materials may not be checked out because, in most cases, they cannot be replaced.
Again, we want to make sure that library materials are available for anyone who might need health or medical information.
We appreciate your cooperation.
Please contact Margo (738-2324) or Michele (223-0342) if you need additional information.
