Notices are mailed to addresses (either electronic or postal) supplied by university registrars and personnel offices. Yale email is used for all library notices unless the reader has no e-mail address.

Recall Notices

The Library sends a recall notice the day after the recall request is placed. The recalled item must be returned by the date indicated in the recall notice.

Notices are mailed to addresses supplied by university registrars and personnel offices. The reader is responsible for notifying the library and these offices promptly of any change in address.

Circulation privileges are automatically accorded to those holding valid Yale photo identification cards with a current validation sticker. The policies on this website generally apply to "books." Other types of loans might be subject to different policies.
