Q1.The book that I wish to loan is under the [CHECK SHELF] state, but I could not find it on the shelf?

Ans:

1. Please make sure you are on the correct shelf for the book and search around the neighboring shelves.
2. The book might be held by others now or not on the shelf at the moment. So, please take a look around the study area, printing area, and book carriers.
3. If the book could not be found at those places, please come down to the 3rd-floor and search for it in the 'Sorting Room' near the gallery.
4. If the book still could not be found, please proceed to the small counter beside our circulation desk and fill in the book searching form. The librarian will help you to look for the book and will notify you of the result.

 

Q2.How to read the due date in the system?

Ans:

Our library shows the date as dd/mm/yy, e.g.: 14/02/20. That means the due date is on the 14th of February 2020.

 

Q3.The book that I wish to loan is under the [In Processing] state. How can I loan it?

Ans:

If the book is under the [In Processing] state, that means the book had just been bought and is in processing.

All B2 shelves are under close management, readers are not allowed to enter the floor, and the librarians will take the books out if needed. The books kept in the area are rarely checked out, older editions or have multiple copies on the shelves. Please make sure there are no other copies or later editions on the shelves before you go to the "Find Documents and Interlibrary Loan System" to submit a request. We will inform you by issuing a "Book Arrival Notice" after our staff has got the book for you.
