Circulation & Borrowing
Borrowers must present a valid Iona ID card each time they wish to check out library materials. Students, faculty and staff may obtain bar-coded, picture ID cards at the Security Office located in the basement of Doorley Hall. Students attending Iona only for a summer course are issued temporary ID cards at the Ryan Library Help Desk. Alumni may obtain a bar-coded library card at the Ryan Help Desk, Monday - Friday, 8:30am - 4:30pm. They should provide identification including name and address, such as a driver's license. The latest edition of the Iona College Alumni Directory will be consulted as well as the computerized patron file (for recent alumni) for verification of alumni status. Alumni may not borrow more than 5 books at one time.
ORION is Iona College Libraries' online catalog system. ORION contains records for all books, periodicals, and audiovisual materials cataloged in Ryan Library, the Helen Arrigoni Library/Technology Center, and the Rockland Graduate Library. ORION is publically accessible via the library's webpage. In Ryan Library, ORION is available to users without an Iona network ID on computers in the hallways of the second and third floor. Records for each item in ORION list Call Number, Library Location (Ryan, Arrigoni, Rockland, Irish, Reference, etc.), and Status, i.e. whether or not an item is ON SHELF or CHECKED-OUT.
Reference books, periodicals, videos, and most items on Reserve may not leave the library. All circulating items must be returned on or before the due date. The borrowing period is approximately 28 days for items in the regular collection. Curriculum Collection (CC) items may be checked out for 7 days, Leisure Reading Collection books for 21 days. You can check your account online to see when items are due. The total number of items borrowed at one time may not exceed 15. The total number of books borrowed on one subject, (beginning with the same Dewey Decimal Numbers) may not exceed 5. The late fine for the regular collection is $.05 per day, per item. The charge for any lost or damaged item is its current replacement cost (with a minimum of $40), $10.00 for processing, plus any late fines accrued.
You can renew books online, by phone, or in person as long as the item is not being requested by another patron. To renew online, go to the Books & Multimedia Catalog webpage and choose Your Account. You can also call or visit any Circulation Desk.

Patrons interested in an item that is listed as CHECKED-OUT or OVERDUE in ORION, can ask at the Circulation Desk about placing a hold or a recall on that item. A patron may place a HOLD on a book charged out, or a RECALL on a book that has been been out for more than its initial loan period. When the item is returned an email will be sent to the patron's Iona email account, and it will be held for up to one week at the library circulation desk.
If an item whose circulation status in ORION is "ON SHELF" cannot be found on the shelf, patrons may fill out a yellow Search Request Card at the Circulation Desk. The library staff will search for the item and notify the requester of the result, usually within a few days. If the item is found, it will held for up to one week at the Circulation Desk. An item not found, is given a MISSING status in the ORION system. Please note, Interlibrary Loan requests for items held by the Libraries will only be processed if items have been given a MISSING status in ORION.
Ryan Library has 5 wireless laptops for use inside Ryan Library. Laptops wirelessly connect to the Internet and include Microsoft Office. Laptops can be checked out at the Ryan Circulation Desk for 3 hour increments, and renewed if no one is waiting. All patrons who want to borrow a laptop must have 2 forms of picture ID, one being their Iona ID card. Users must sign a form agreeing to follow the policies governing the responsibility and use of laptops.
