Book Renewal Request Form
Books in the regular collection are circulated for 28 days with an option to renew. Each book may be renewed up to two times unless another patron has placed a "hold" on the item. When a book is renewed, its due date is 28 days from the day of the renewal.
Book renewals must be requested within one week of the book's due date. Boston University's online library catalog system does not allow for books to be renewed prior to one week before their due date.
Materials can be returned to any of the Boston University libraries or to the book-drop located on the first floor of the Instructional Building on the Medical Campus. Patrons are responsible for theft, loss, or damage to items checked-out to them.
To renew a book that is currently checked out to you, complete the information below, and click on the send request button on the bottom of the screen.
Contact the Medical Library Circulation Desk at (617) 638-4244 if you have questions or comments about book renewals.
Books that have been borrowed via Interlibrary Loan (ILL) cannot be renewed here. To renew an ILL book, contact the ILL department at illmed@bu.edu or (617) 638-4270.
