All AUBG students have Library accounts automatically created upon arrival at the university. Faculty and staff are registered at the Circulation Desk with their AUBG ID card. Non-AUBG visitors use the Library after filling out a form without borrowing privileges. Patrons check out materials from the Library by presenting AUBG ID card at the Circulation Desk.

Missing parts
If any part is missing upon return, it is imperative that you replace it at your earliest convenience (e.g. booklets, CDs, etc.). If the replacement is impossible, you will be charged for the entire cost of the material. Faculty and staff do not pay for overdue fines, but professional courtesy requires regular returning of the Library materials.

Course reserves
The Course Reserve is a collection of materials placed for a specific course by a Faculty member. The reserve can include textbooks for a course, photocopies, additional readings, audio-visual materials, etc. The print Course Reserve is situated at the Circulation Desk. The Electronic Course Reserve can be accessed through the Library Catalog within the university network, using the Reserve search options by an instructor’s name, course ID or a title for the material.
Students may check out up to three Reserve materials for a loan period of 2 hours and use them only in the Library. The fine for overdue Reserve materials is $1 per loan period.
