*Faculty and staff have longer loan periods than students or community patrons. All patrons have the potential to renew books six times, as long as another person has not placed a hold on the item. A loan renewal is for the same period of time as the original loan (21 days or 42 days). OhioLINK media items, such as CDs or DVDs can be renewed three times. These loan periods and renewal policies do not apply to SearchOhio materials. There are exceptions to these rules; for circulation questions, please contact Collette Knight at knightc@defiance.edu or (419) 783-2482.
