Overdue and Billed Material

In the event library materials are not returned in a timely manner, they will be billed to the borrower's account and library privileges will be suspended. This guide covers all the possible ways to handle the situation and clear the account.

Interlibrary Loan Billed items

The complete Interlibrary Loan (ILL) policies are located at http://library.unm.edu/services/illpolicies.php

Return of Interlibrary Loan Materials

ILL materials should be returned to the Zimmerman Circulation Desk. Do not place them in the outside book drops. It is extremely important that the ILL book band or label with the barcode is kept on the material at all times.

Fines

A minimum $25.00 fine will be charged for non-returned materials. Any fine or late fee charged by the lending library will be added to this amount.

ILL Bills

When a borrower is billed for ILL items, they will be blocked in ILLIAD and the charges will appear on the borrower’s library account and bursar’s accounts at the same time. Payment can be made directly to the bursar’s office. The bursar's accounts and library accounts are not instantly linked. Updates are manually made weekly, if you need changes made immediately please contact a member of the Access Services Billing Team to verify your payment and adjust your library account. The ILLIAD account will be unblocked when proof iof payment is available from the Bursar's office.
