Gus the Viking at Circ Desk Checking Out Items 

Most items in the Tredway Library can be checked out at the Circulation Desk on the second floor of the library.  Please bring your Augustana ID card with you to check out any materials. To learn more about check-out periods, please refer to our lending policy

If our library catalog, ALiCat, within OneSearch indicates that the item you want to check out is available here, but you can't find it, please come to either the Circulation Desk or the Research Help Desk (located on the second floor) for assistance in finding the item. 

Patrons are responsible for all checked out items on their account. Items are not allowed to be checked out on someone else's card if the card owner is not there.

Items may be renewed in the following ways:

  • Online: Items on your account can be renewed by signing into your account on OneSearch. 
  • In person: Come to the Circulation Desk on the second floor of the library and ask to have your items renewed. Bring your Augustana ID with you.
  • By telephone: call the Circulation Desk at 309-794-7310 and ask to have your items renewed.
