Lending Library

The DO IT Center has a Lending Library for working and aspiring interpreters who are either currently enrolled in UNC-DO IT Center courses and/or live in the RSA Mid-America Region (Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming). Interpreters striving to improve their interpreting and/or communication skills are invited to use these materials.

GUIDELINES

Up to four items can be borrowed at one time from the library
The lending period is limited to thirty (30) days
For any materials not returned, the standard loan rules impose a minimum $25.00 charge. After the replacement value of the item is ascertained, the full purchase price for a replacement item (equal in value) will be charged. If the lost one is no longer available, the DO IT Center will specify an alternate item, on the same topic, as a replacement.

*If an extension to the thirty days is needed (7 day maximum), approval must be requested from
Sherry Schriver at the DO IT Center.
If other individuals are awaiting use of the materials loaned to you, an extension will not be granted.

MAILING INSTRUCTIONS

There have been several incidents of Lending Library items being lost in the mail. Since you are responsible for paying for replacement items, it is in your best interest to follow these mailing instructions:

Enclosed in the package you receive from the library will be a non-tear, pre-addressed envelope and a bubble wrap envelope.
Insert the materials into the bubble wrap envelope.
Insert the bubble wrap envelope and materials into the non-tear pre-addressed envelope.
Use packing tape to secure the pre-addressed envelope (although the envelope has an adhesive strip, it is not unusual for this to release during postal processing).
Go to your local post office and mail the package Insured. There is a minimal cost for insured packages within the United States:
For your own protection, we suggest you request a Delivery Confirmation for an additional $0.60. Delivery Confirmation allows you to track your package throughout the postal process.

Please note:
If materials are lost and you cannot provide proof of insurance and delivery confirmation, you will be financially responsible for their replacement.
