Online Reservation:
- Online requests are only accepted if the item is borrowed by another user or held in the library for another user (item status: on hold shelf) or on processing (order or catalogue).

Late Return of Books:

- Users with late returned books which are over 75 days or who are suspended from library rights cannot check out or renew any book.
Replacement for Lost/Damaged Book:

Users will be held responsible for loss or damage to any book at their expense and will be required to pay its original value (replacement with the book of same or advanced edition is acceptable).
- Users should complete the replacement procedures within 30 days after the overdue book is reported to our desk, otherwise, users have to pay the price of right suspension besides the replacement (book or fee).
