Books are issued to the students on borrower cards. Degree students will be issued two cards each, PG. students 5 and research students 5. As a rule, only one book will be issued on a single card.

On completion of the course, students should return their library cards by the dates fixed for the purpose.

Borrower cards are not transferable.

Students should submit in writing to the librarian, if their library card is lost. To replace a lost card a duplicate may be issued on payment of a penalty of Rs. 20/-

After making his selection, the borrower must hand over the book, borrower card and his identity card at the issue counter. The book will be issued after the card and the identity card are checked.

Before leaving the counter the borrowers shall point out to the Librarian any damage or mutilation on the books they are taking. The Librarian will then make necessary entries in the book and put his initials.

It is the duty of the librarian and his staff to examine the books when they are returned by the borrowers in order to take immediate action whenever necessary.
