General Policies

All library patrons must show a valid Iona ID card with a bar-code in order to borrow books, audio visual, and reserve materials. Patrons are responsible for the care of all materials checked out on their ID cards.

It is important to report lost or stolen ID cards immediately to the Library, as well as to the Security Office. Students must clear their library accounts in order to register for classes, graduate, or have official transcripts released. Iona College employees must clear their library accounts before leaving employment with the College.

Visitors:

The Iona College Library facilities and resources are primarily for the use of Iona students, faculty, administrators, and staff. Visitors are welcome provided that, upon entrance, they register and show photo identification at the Main Desk.

Library Privileges:

Library privileges are extended to all members of the Iona College community. Current full and part-time students, faculty, administrators, and staff members may borrow from the Iona College Libraries, use the Periodicals Collection, and request Document Delivery Services.

Alumni and Faculty Emeriti, as determined by the Faculty Handbook, may borrow from the Iona College Libraries and use the Periodicals Collection. Electronic resources are often unavailable to Alumni and Faculty Emeriti because of licensing restrictions.
