Policies -- Hamilton Curriculum Library

Use Policy: The resources and services of the Hamilton Curriculum Library are designed to support current GCC Education Majors in their professional courses, field experiences, and student teaching. The library is restricted to these students and their professors. Current non-education majors may request and receive permission from the director to use materials or services.

Hamilton is not open to the community and does not serve public, private, or home-schooling endeavors.

Lending Period and Borrowing Privileges: Borrowing materials from Hamilton Curriculum Library is considered a privilege rather than a right. Lending periods and borrowing privileges vary according to the status of the user, but the use of a valid borrower's card to check out materials implies agreement by the borrower to abide by the assigned due dates and to return the materials in good condition. Failure to meet either requirement may result in fines and/or the loss of privileges.
