Overview

The UNH Library and the Law Library have collaborated on a Community Standards statement which outlines the standards of behavior for all library users.

Using library materials

The UNH Library and the UNH Law Library are “e-preferred,” which means that resources are primarily purchased in electronic format and most journals, ebooks, and media can be accessed electronically through the UNH library website.

Fines

Fines for some overdue physical materials are charged to ensure equal access to materials for all library users. More information on consequences for not paying fines can be found in the Failure to Pay University Accounts section of the Financial Responsibilities policy. The system of fines is established by the Dean or Director of each library.
