Upon producing library tickets and University Identity Card, the Lending books are issued from the Lending Section for a period of 14 days only. The due date of returning will be stamped on the Book Slip pasted in the book. If any user wants to extend the loan period further, after the 14 days, it could be extended by another 14 days. This facility could be obtained only once for a particular book for one loan.

 

Library users should be observant of any damage to the library materials before borrowing. For example, missing or torn pages and scribbling on pages should be informed to the issuing counter immediately. If such damage is recovered when returning the materials to the library, the person who has borrowed the materials will be held responsible for the damage.

 

Any damage to library materials such as scribbling, disfiguring, tearing of pages, mishandling, and removing of library materials or part of materials is a punishable offence. Disciplinary actions will be imposed as punishments for such offences.

If a user is unable to return a borrowed book on time, on or before the due date, library fines should be paid by him/her according to library rules as given below:

 

Library fines for books in the Lending Section - Rs. 2.00 (For a Book, per day)

Scheduled Reference Section - Rs. 5.00 (For a Book, per day)

 

Books in the Scheduled Reference (SR) Collection are issued after 1.00 p.m. on a particular day, and users should return them to the Library on the following day before 10.00 a.m. If it is not returned on or before the specified time, library fines will be calculated on a daily basis. Even though scheduled reference books are to be returned before 10.00 a.m. of the following day, weekends and public holidays are exempted from the rule.

 

A receipt would be issued for each payment. Users can settle Library fines for books at the Library Counter itself. All other payments should be made at the Shroff Counter of the Finance Branch of the University. In case of lost books, a new copy or a new edition of the same book would be accepted with the approval of the Librarian. If not, the cost will be charged, including three times the present market value of the lost book plus 25% surcharge of the present market value with binding charges, late fines and related other fines, if any.

 

 

Library facilities are terminated upon completion of the studentship of the university. Therefore, such students should return all borrowed library books to the library, and 'No Dues' stamp should be obtained on the student record book in order to obtain the clearance of library responsibilities. The university will not issue degree certificates and other certificates unless the certification of library clearance is obtained.
