17.2.3 Circulation Policy
Loan Periods, Renewals and Reservation
All library patrons must produce a valid ID card when borrowing any material. Students are allowed to borrow four books for a period of 25 days. Library materials may be renewed once, provided no other library user has reserved the items. If library materials are not returned on time, an overdue notice is sent out 3 days’ prior expiry date as well as one day as grace period is granted and then a fine of 1 dirham per day per item is imposed. If there is library material currently on loan that a student wishes to check out, the item can be reserved at the circulation desk or online. An email notice will be sent to students once the item is available. Reserved item will be re-shelved if it is not picked up within three working days.
Lost or Damaged Library Materials
Borrowers are required to replace lost or damaged item(s) in the collection with a new copy. Patron is charged the actual price of item (latest edition if applicable) plus 50 AED as processing fee.
