Resource Sharing (ILL, PASCAL) and/or Hold items can be delivered to the Gunnin Circulation desk for pick-up. Select this option when you make your request.

Circulation

Your Clemson University ID is also your library card. Any student, faculty, staff, or courtesy card holder may borrow materials from the Gunnin Library.

Materials borrowed from R.M. Cooper Library may be returned to the Gunnin Library, and vice versa, but this will delay the item's availability to other patrons by a day or more. Please return recalled items to the originating library.

TIP: Use My Library Account to keep track of and/or renew your borrowed materials online.

Call 864.656.3933 for help with Gunnin-related circulation problems or queries.
