How To Borrow

You are required to abide by the following rules and regulations:

• Borrowers are to produce their staff/student identification nametags when borrowing Library materials.
• Books or Library materials may NOT be brought out of the Library until the borrowing has been recorded. Unauthorized removal of Library materials is regarded as a serious offence.
• Borrowers are responsible for the safekeeping and return of Library materials issued under their name.
• Library materials borrowed must be promptly returned on or before the due date.
• Library books must be returned via electronic (book drop) (When the service is introduced) or manually at the circulation counter.
• The normal borrowing period for books is two weeks. The Library, however, may fix varying borrowed periods for the different types of materials or users as it deems fit.
• All borrowers must settle their overdue loans before they are permitted to borrow again.
• Users may borrow library materials up to 30 minutes before the library closing time.
• Borrowers are fully responsible for the materials checked out. It is also the borrower’s duty to ensure that the materials are returned before or on the due dates.
• Failure to receive any notice sent does not absolve a borrower of their responsibility to return Library materials by the due date.
• Borrowers are prohibited from borrowing on behalf of other users.
• The Red Spot Collection may be borrowed overnight for 24 hours only. E.g: If you borrow at 10.00am today, it needs to be returned before 10.00am tomorrow.
• Student project reports may be borrowed for reference within the Library only. Photocopies of these project reports can only be made with permission from the Librarian on duty.
• Other Library materials may or may not be accessible. Thus, it is requested to consult the Librarian at the circulation counter.
