Kent State University Libraries sends library notices to students, faculty, and staff to their FlashLine accounts ("@kent.edu" email address).  

Library patrons who have borrowing privileges but do not have "@kent.edu" e-mail accounts, such as Community Borrowers, will receive e-mail notification by supplying an email address when applying for borrowing privileges.  

Notices sent by email:

• Pick-up notices for KentLINK, OhioLINK, SearchOhio, and Interlibrary Loan materials.  
• Courtesy notices for materials approaching due dates  
• Overdue Notices  
• Statements of Charges (30 day, 60 day, and 90 day)  
• Hold Cancellation Notices  
• Recall Notices 

Notices sent by Campus or U.S. Mail:

• Replacement bills for materials over 30 days overdue and assumed lost  

Before materials are billed for replacement, three notices are sent out, including one courtesy notice and two overdue notices. 

• All patrons accept responsibility for materials upon checkout. (See Loan Periods, Renewals, and Overdue Charges.)
• Notices sent via email are provided as a courtesy. Patrons are responsible for checking and maintaining the email account to which notices are sent.  
• Failure to read or receive an email notice does not relieve the patron of responsibility for overdue materials, charges, or replacement costs.  

Please check your "@kent.edu" e-mail account regularly. If you choose to forward your email, be aware that spam filters are likely to catch our automated notices.
