LIBRARIAN: Current issues,yes but if you want tolook at back issues you'll need to use the CD-ROMdatabases which are held here at Fordham.
STUDENT: I see.Now,about borrowing books.I'mliving out of town,so I'm hoping I can borrow qutie afew items,and cut down on the number of trips Ihave to make.
LIBRARIAN: Right,well,members can borrow twobooks at a time from each site.
STUDENT: Only two books?
LIBRARIAN: Only two from each site,but that's four altogerther.
STUDENT: Oh I see,and how long can I hand on to them for?
LIBRARIAN: The borrowing period is one month,but of course books can be renewed.You canrenew any item a maximum of three times.
STUDENT: Do I have to come to the library to do that?
LIBRARIAN: No,you can do it by telephone or email,but you can't renew overdue books thisway,only before or on the due date stamped in the book.We'll need your full name,yourborrower number and the nme of the site library you borrowed the items from.
STUDENT: So theoretically I can borrow books for up to three months - is that what you'resaying?
LIBRARIAN: Yes,provided they're not recalled.
STUDENT: So,what happens then?
LIBRARIAN: Well,sometimes an item is requested by another borrower,in which case we'dsend you a letter,and you'd have to return the book within seven working days.Don't forgetwe're closed on Sundays.
STUDENT: OK.
