How can I borrow/reserve library items?

All items of the General Collection can be checked out for use outside the Library. You can check out the items at the Service Counter or by using the self-checkout machine. Users must use their own University ID cards to check out Library materials. Items of the Reserve Collection can be checked out at the Service Counter only. Materials that can be placed hold via LibSearch are General Collection books and their accompanying items (SPM) when all the title's available copies are checked out or reserved by another user. A hold request has to be made in person for all other reserve materials (except SPM) at the Service Counter.

Is there any book reservation fee?

No fee is charged for book reservation.

I received a recall notice from the Library. What should I do?

All loaned items are subject to recall. Once an item is recalled, you are required to return the recalled item in 14 days or by the due date, whichever comes earlier.
