Book Borrowing and Returning

1 Readers may borrow and return books at any campus library with their "campus card." Proxy borrowing or unauthorized borrowing is prohibited, and violators will be dealt with according to the relevant provisions of the "Library Violation Handling Rules.".

2 Before borrowing a book, readers must inspect it for any stains, damages, or missing pages. If any issues are found, they must promptly inform the staff, who will then handle the matter.

Undergraduate students are limited to 30 books, including 2 foreign language books (with a limit of 1 foreign language book for the Medical Sub-Branch).

9 Reservation: When the desired book is unavailable, readers may place a reservation through the library's homepage via self-service. They should check the online inquiry system from the following day to see if the reserved book has arrived at the library.
After the reserved book arrives at the library, readers should personally and promptly proceed to the borrowing service desk at the library where the book is located to complete the borrowing procedures. The reservation period for the book is 7 days.
