Services for Faculty
Faculty Library Borrowing PrivilegesLibrary Cards and Loan PeriodsLibrary cards are necessary in order to charge library materials from Kiefer Library. Your Aims I.D. is your library card. The lending period for full- and part-time faculty is 90 days for circulating books owned by Kiefer Library. Faculty at the Ft. Lupton or Loveland campuses should provide us a full bibliographic citation, and we will get the materials to you on your campuses. McNaughton Bestsellers, which are rented by the Library, circulate for three weeks without a renewal. Loose periodicals circulate for one week. Newspapers, reference works, and bound periodicals do not leave the Library. However, Ft. Lupton and Loveland faculty may request articles from these resources. We will photocopy articles at no cost to the requesting faculty member. Returning Library MaterialsAt the Greeley campus, please return Library materials in only one of two locations: the book return slot in the library or in the book drop located near the west doors of the College Center. Pick-up and return sites for the branch campuses will be the respective campus Resource Centers, and materials will be dropped off for you every Wednesday. Books may also be returned at any Colorado library, which will send the materials back to Kiefer Library via the State Courier System. This can be a slow process, however, depending on the remote library's setup, so please take the due date into account. Overdue Library Materials, Fees, and RenewalsKiefer Library does not assess fines for late materials. However, you can expect to receive reminders of overdue materials. Please call Circulation (extension 6227) to renew your materials or find out how to replace them if they have become lost. We will ask for dean or director intervention in cases when notices go unanswered, either by the return of library materials, their renewal or their replacement. Our policy of refunding your book replacement costs when lost materials are found will continue, less processing fees which are currently $5. Requesting Materials through Interlibrary LoanYou may request books and articles (the latter restricted by copyright laws) from other libraries through interlibrary loan. Lending libraries set the loan period for these materials; three weeks without renewal is the standard loan period. You may return most other Colorado libraries' books through us as long as we can return them through our library system's courier service. While Aims has a daily courier, not all libraries do. Be sure to add extra time if you are nearing a due date. Bibliographic InstructionPlease go to the Library Instruction page for information about this important service for faculty.

ReservesFaculty may place course materials in the library on reserve for short-term check-out. Print/Hardcopy/Audiovisual/Other Physical ItemsThese types of materials are located behind the Circulation desk in Kiefer Library. Students must check-out the materials with their Aims I.D. Instructors decide the length of time a reserve item may be borrowed and/or whether its use shall be restricted to the library or not. Electronic MaterialsThese items are placed on reserve and accessed through the library's electronic reserve system called ERes (E-Rez) located online at: http://eres.aims.edu. Using ERes, students are able to find electronic course materials searching by department, instructor name, course number, course name, document title, or document author. ERes can also be used to see if an instructor has placed physical items on reserve too. Placing Items On ReserveTo place items on reserve, please bring them to the library and complete an Incoming Item Reserve Information form. Please allow 48 hours to process the material.
