Your student ID card serves as your Library Identification Card. You must present your own ID card to borrow from the Library.
You will not be allowed to borrow material without your card.
Borrowing
To borrow material present your Identity card to library staff at the Library Circulation Desk. Books may be borrowed for a period of two weeks.
Books returned late are subject to a fine of Tshs 500 per day. Repeated late return of books will result in a suspension of borrowing privileges.
You will not be allowed to take out books until all overdue books are returned and fines are paid.
Renewals
The loan period of a book may be extended twice, provided no other student has reserved the book.
Reserving a book
To reserve a book which is on loan to another reader, please ask a member of Library staff for assistance. By reserving a book you ensure that the book will be held for you upon its return.
Books will be held for one week and then returned to open circulation.
It is your responsibility to collect a reserved book.
Returning items
Please present borrowed book(s) at the Library Circulation Desk. Books left anywhere else will not be cleared from your name, and fines will accrue.
Please return books promptly. Others may be waiting for them.
Important points to remember
You must have your ID card to borrow books.
Do not loan books to fellow students that you have taken out in your name.
You are personally responsible for book(s) you take out and will be charged the replacement cost for any lost material and are responsible for the payment of any fine incurred.
Failure to return books promptly will result in the suspension of borrowing rights.
Bindery
The Bindery Unit is located at the adjoining room, Karume house. The Bindery's mission is to maintain the Library's holdings in good circulating condition.
