Navy  Auxiliary  Library  Service  Collections Unlike interlibrary loans, Navy auxiliary library service  collections  (ALSCs)  provide  materials  directly to members of the naval service upon personal letter request. The materials in the ALSC are primarily books that are of timely significance to naval personnel for their   intellectual   and   professional   growth   and development.  Usually  these  books  have  been  reviewed or  otherwise  highlighted  in  such  professional  journals as the Naval War College Review  or the Proceedings  of the U.S. Naval lnstitute.  Many books in the ALSC are also available in some of the larger libraries, but if a crew member requests a book that is not available locally, it may be borrowed from an ALSC. To borrow one or more books, individuals should write  a  personal  letter  to  the  appropriate  ALSC.  Figure 5-6  identifies  the  ALSCs  and  the  areas  they  serve. Overdue Materials Concerning the return of library materials, library directives set the basic command policy under which the library   operates. In  general,  the  procedures  for AREA  OF  SERVICE East  and  Gulf  Coast, Caribbean, South  Atlantic, Europe, Mediterranean,  and  Middle  East West Coast and Alaska Hawaii, Western  Pacific, all other Asian and Indian Ocean locations processing  overdue  materials  include  the  following steps: l l l The first overdue notice is sent to the person concerned 3 to 5 days after materials were due. The  second  overdue  notice  is  sent,  again  to  the person  concerned,  3  to  5  days  after  the  first notice. The third overdue notice is sent to the person’s division officer for action, 3 to 5 days after the second  notice. Personnel leaving an activity also should checkout with  the  shipboard  library  before  detaching. Fees and Fines Fees may not be charged for use of materials in naval general libraries. When library materials in circulation are lost, damaged, or destroyed by means other  than  natural  disasters  or  like  incidents,  persons responsible must replace the lost materials or reimburse the U. S. Government for the value of the materials.
