Our grad students are heavy researchers, and they made their case to us that the nature of their research requires a loan period of longer than 30 days. They pointed out that most grad level research assignments are semester-long, and so they would need their books for the length of the entire semester without the renewal period running out on them.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, we have extended the loan period on books for graduate students to meet this need.<\/p>\n<p>As of March of this year, <strong>the loan period for graduate students is<\/strong> always, at most, <strong>an en<\/strong><strong>tire semester<\/strong>. This means, when a graduate student checks out a book, it will always be due at the end of the current semester. One renewal is allowed though, which would then extend the due date to the end of the <em>following <\/em>semester.<\/p>\n<p>So, to all of our grad students &#8212; happy researching!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo courtesy of Flickr user &#8216;eseering&#8217; under a Creative Commons license. http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yankee_belle\/ \/ CC BY 2.0 &nbsp; Last Spring, we received feedback from grad students regarding their loan period for books.
