Ferris State University Library for Information, Technology and Education (FLITE).
Borrowing Materials

Bulldog Card
  • Your Bulldog Card is required to check out any Library material. A picture ID is acceptable if the patron has been linked to the circulation system previously.
  • Guest cards may be used and are available for purchase.
  • FLITE participates in the Michicard Library Program. A Michicard may be used to check out materials.
  • Patrons are responsible for any materials checked out on their card. Items may be checked out with a staff member at the Check Out Desk.
Holds
  • If an item that you need is checked out, you may place a hold on that item through our online catalog system or by asking the staff at the Check Out Desk. When the borrowed material is returned, you will be notified and the item will be held at the Check Out Desk for one week following notification for you to pick up.
Renewals
  • Three-week book loans may be renewed twice. Materials may not be renewed if a hold has been placed on them. Renewals may be made in person or by telephoning 231-591-2669.
Loan Periods
  • Books in the General Collection may be checked out for three weeks by students and for extended periods by faculty and staff. Media such as videocassettes, audiocassettes, and music compact discs may be checked out for one week. Locker keys are checked out for the duration of the day. Study rooms may be checked out for four hours.
Fines
  • To encourage prompt return of borrowed materials, charges accrue on late materials. All patrons are responsible for returning materials on time and in good condition. No one is exempt from paying fines. Please be aware that fines for heavy use items, such as study room and locker keys, are significant. Faculty, staff, emeriti and guest fines are collected at FLITE. Students should pay their fines at the Business Office. For detailed fine information, please ask at the Check Out Desk.
