APA 7th ed. guidelines have been implemented in all in-house supports (citation guides, workshops) as of Fall 2020.  The Citation tool in our Discovery platform and EBSCO databases has switched to 7th edition.

Please note that some versions of MS Word References tool may still use 6th edition, and that students who were used to 6th edition may need some time to adjust.

Library Cards and Access
You are automatically in our system and can borrow materials. Your OneCard is your library card. You can access our online database using Single Sign On. 

Loan Periods and Renewals 

Please return or renew material by the due date.

Renewals
You can renew your Library item(s) if:

• no other borrower has placed a hold on the item(s)
• the maximum number of renewals for the item has not been reached

Renewals can be made online through your Library Account, in person, or by phone.

Holds
If an item is checked out to another Library user, you can place a hold on the item (log in to your Library Acount). When the item becomes available you will be notified through your Fleming email.  Hold items will be held at the Circulation desk for seven days for pick up.

Holds may not be placed on Reserve items, Reference items, journals or magazines.

Overdue Notifications
You will be contacted regarding overdue Library material using the email address on file.

Lost Items
Once an item is 60 days overdue, it will be marked as Lost, and you will be charged the full replacement cost of the item and a $10.00 processing fee.

Update (February 2022): Reserve service is available for students on campus!

Please direct any questions about Reserves to Library@flemingcollege.ca

Putting course readings and other resources on Reserve ensures that all students have access to this material. Reserves are kept behind the Library Service Desk, filed by either course code (Brealey), or by instructor name (Frost). Students will need their Student ID to borrow Reserves (and all Library material).

The following regulations maximize access to these high-demand items:

• Reserves are for In-Library use only
• Reserves have very short (same-day) loan periods 

Students may need reminders that textbooks are not typically available through the Library's print or eBook collections, and that Reference items are not available for curbside pickup. Students should contact the bookstore for textbook options.

Submitting Reserves

Visit the Library or contact us to place materials on Reserve. Faculty and staff may submit personal copies or request that existing Library materials be placed on Reserve. Please note that your materials will be affixed with Library adhesive labels.

Removing Reserves

You may request to remove your item(s) from Reserve at any time.  At the end of each semester, your items will be delivered to your college mailbox unless you request to keep the material on Reserve for next term. 

You can book a film in advance to ensure it is available when you need it!  Contact us at Library@flemingcollege.ca and let us know the title of the film and your intended showdate.

• Using Films in a Remote Learning Environment, including Streaming media
