- General Loan Rules
Borrowers are to produce their library cards when borrowing library materials.
No books or library materials may be brought out of the Library until the loan has been recorded.Unauthorised removal of library materials is regarded as a very serious offence.
Library materials borrowed must be returned on or before the due date.
The normal loan period for books is two weeks. The Library, however, may fix varying loan periods for different types of materials or users as it deems fit.
All borrowers must, at the end of each semester, settle any overdue loans before they are permitted to borrow again.
- Overdue books
Books must be returned by the due date or earlier if recalled by the Librarian . Failure to return a book by the date specified will be treated as a serious offence. The Library will endeavour to send overdue notices but will not be held responsible for non-delivery, under whatever circumstances.
- Fines
Fines imposed on borrowers for late return of books is as follows:-
20 cent per day per item for books and serials.
20 cent per hour per item for red spot books.
- Loss and Damage
Borrowers will be held responsible for materials out on loan.
If the material is lost, an immediate report should be made to the Librarian of the Circulation Division to enable appropriate action to be taken.
A borrower is allowed to either replace the book lost or damaged by purchasing it himself or requesting the Library to replace it. If the latter alternative is chosen, the borrower will have to pay twice the market price of the book. All books replaced in this manner must be of the latest edition.
If the book is one of a set or series they may be called upon to replace the whole set or series.
