A recall request changes the due date and, if not honored, imposes a higher overdue fine, where applicable. The first borrower is entitled to retain the item for a minimum of 14 days, except when an item is recalled for a reserve unit and must be returned immediately. To request that an item be recalled, the requestor must submit a hold/recall request form either online or to the circulation desk of the owning library. Although recall requests are accepted at any time, recalled items are not due during intersessions, Spring Break, or on official University holidays.
