Borrowing Materials
The library offers general access to its collection as well as a comprehensive variety of borrowing services. These services include the circulation of materials from the circulating collections, checking in returned materials, and shelving of reading materials. The library's circulation staff will also assist you with making reservation and recall requests on materials that have been given out, as well as locating things in the stack area and dealing with related issues.
Circulation Policies
Reading materials can be borrowed by the Institute's faculty, researchers, students, and staff. When academics and staff join the Institute, they are automatically registered to utilize the library's facilities and services, as are students when they register for academic programs. The regulations are designed to encourage and assist, rather than restrict, the use of library collections and services.

Recall
A book may be recalled by library staff at any time before its due date in need. When a book is recalled, it is mandatory that it be returned. Failure to return a book when it is due or recalled may result in increased overdue charges.

Members can reserve only those materials, which are already issued at the Circulation Desk. One reader can reserve maximum two books at any given time. A book can have maximum two reservations. Reserved books will be put on hold at the Circulation Desk for maximum two working days (inclusive of the day on which it is received/returned) from the date of return by previous borrower. If a member who has reserved the book fails to pick up the same within this period, the reservation stands cancelled. Availability of reserved items will be informed through email.
Return
Reading materials may be returned to the library through the self-check-out and check-in system or at the Information Desk. The borrower is responsible for failing to return issued items to their account.
Reminders
The library will usually send reminders to members for overdue items, but failure to receive reminders is no reason to return books late.
Library Material Loss or Damage
The loss of a book or books must be reported immediately. Any overdue fines will be charged until the loss of the book(s) is reported. If the original book is returned after it has been reported lost, the fine will be calculated until the date of return. Borrower must replace the book, if lost/damaged, with the most recent edition within 45 days of reporting, along with overdue charges. If the lost book is out of print and the borrower is unable to replace it, he or she must pay the current book price.
