Which books are popular?

Todd Degraff — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 15:26:18 +0000

Find out which books are popular … or are being used for research. The Business Library now has a list of recently returned books. These titles were loaned from the Business Library and recently brought back. Books are in order by title. Library staff will provide regular updates, and the list can be accessed from the New Books page or Sources A-Z, both on the Business Library’s home page.

Please note: the University of Iowa Libraries respect readers’ privacy! No loan details are associated with these titles – just book information.

Change in Class Reserve Loans

Todd Degraff — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 19:42:57 +0000

The Business Library has in the past allowed renewals of 2-hour items; these have been mostly class materials. Because of increased usage – and fair access to these items – there will no longer be renewals of 2-hour material.

Library users can return to the Library after one hour and borrow an item again. Continuous renewals, however, cannot be done.

If you have any questions, please contact Business Library staff.
