Security Gate
To ensure that Library material leaving the building has been properly checked out, an electronic security system is in use. An alarm will sound when material that has not been properly checked out is taken through it. When the alarm sounds, all books and packages will be examined to make sure that all Library material has been checked out properly. If a non-circulating item is found, a written incident report may be filed with Campus Public Safety and with the Dean of Students.
Self Check-Out
The Self Check-Out system is located in front of the Circulation Desk, near the West entrance. Only books may be checked out at this location. We ask that you take videos to the circulation desk to be desensitized after check-out.
The system requires a new BoxerID card. There are simple instructions for check-out displayed on the station's screen.

2. Scan the book's barcode
3. Desensitize the book
4. End the transaction by pressing "done" on the screen
