Who May Check Out Materials from the Law Library?

Alumni of Creighton University, area attorneys and their staff may apply for a guest card to check out Law Library materials. Guest borrowing privileges expire 1 year from the date the guest card is issued and can be renewed.

What Happens if an item is Overdue?
You will receive an overdue notice. If we have your email account address, this notice will come to you via email. Also, a block will be placed on your library record and your borrowing privileges will be suspended at all three Creighton University Libraries. If the item is not returned after you receive the third notice, you will receive a bill for the item. You won't be able to check out anything from any of the three Creighton Libraries until the bill is paid or the item is returned. The Law Library does not assess overdue fines.

Can an item be Renewed?
Items may be renewed up to 3 times as long as no one else is requesting the item. You may renew the item yourself through the online catalog. You must have a personal PIN (personal identification number) to do a self-renewal. Contact the Reference Desk at 280-5541 for information on self-renewals. You may also renew an item by coming to the Circulation Desk. You also have the option of renewing an item by phone if the item is not overdue.
