Library materials can be checked out using your University TigerOne card if you are a Clemson University affiliate, or a borrowing card if you are a community member. Materials can be renewed at any service desk location, by phoning a service desk, chatting with us online or by logging on to My Library Account. Here you can view your items checked out, renew items, pay fines, turn on reading history and more.
Because some items can be borrowed for longer than others, use the following categories to help you figure out how long you can borrow an item, whether it can be renewed, and any associated replacement costs for overdue or lost items.
Clemson Libraries is fine free on most items effective January 1, 2022. Visit our Fine Free page to learn more.
