Once you’ve found library materials that you’d like to borrow, you need to check them out at the main Library Services Desk.  Present your current BU ID to check out items from the library.

To check out books yourself, use the Self-Check machine located on the main floor of Bertrand Library.  All you need is your current BU ID. Assistance is available if needed.

For more information about borrowing policies, including details about renewals and overdue fines, see Borrowing Privileges.
