UTSA Libraries

Faculty and Professional Staff Borrowing Policy

UTSA faculty, professional staff, and instructors may borrow up to 100 items at a time.

Loan Period

The loan period is until the end of the semester.  Books or multimedia recalled for Course Reserves must be returned by the amended due date emailed to the borrower.  Items may be returned to the John Peace Library on Main Campus, the Downtown Campus Library, or the AET Library, regardless of where they were checked out. For borrowing periods of all other materials please view our Borrowing Policies by type of material.

Renewing Books

You may renew your books up to three times, if the items have not been requested by another borrower.  Books can be renewed online through your account, by calling the John Peace Library (210-458-4574) or the Downtown Campus Library (210-458-2440), or in person at the Front Desk of either library.

Mail renewal is available at the end of each semester for UTSA faculty and professional staff by returning the renewal notice indicating the desire to renew any of the materials listed. If the material has reached its renewal limit, you will be notified and the material must be returned to the library before it can be checked out again.

Overdue Fines

Faculty, professional staff, and instructors are not charged fines for overdue items.

Lost or Damaged Materials

Users are responsible for charges for items lost or damaged during their borrowing period. In addition to replacement costs, users will be responsible for a processing fee of $10. For damaged items, charges will be determined by the cost of repairs or replacement.
