At Rentschler Library, your Miami ID card IS your library card! Students, faculty, and staff can use their valid Miami ID to borrow materials from Rentschler Library’s collection and can come to the main counter to pick up their requests from other Miami University Libraries or OhioLINK. All others should please see the “Community Borrowers” policy for more details on how to obtain library resources.
Checked out materials can be returned to any of the Miami University Libraries. On the Hamilton campus, you can return items to the circulation counter in the library, by using the dropbox located just west of the library’s doors (towards the restrooms), or the convenient 24-hour dropbox located outside of Schwarm Hall that faces the parking lot.
Please Note: Books have unlimited renewals allowed. However, library materials are a shared resource, and all items are subject to Recall after 3 weeks if another user needs them. Items needed for course reserves are subject to immediate Recall. Please check your email and library account for accurate due date information.
These are emailed to your email address on record as a courtesy once items have become overdue. It is the borrower’s responsibility to return or renew items on or before the due date, regardless of whether an overdue notice was received. Due dates can be viewed and renewals can be completed online by going to your library account.
