Renewing items
Students
Students can renew borrowed items by login to My Library Account, each loan item maybe renewed for up to 2 consecutive times, unless it already reserved by another user.
The new due date is calculated from the day the item is renewed irrespective of the original due date.
Staff
All items will be automatically renewed twice for academic staff. After two auto-renewals, staff will need to manually renew the item if they wish to extend the loan period.
The new due date is calculated from the day the item is renewed irrespective of the original due date.
Restrictions on renewals
Most items can be renewed online except if:
- An item is recalled by another user or by Library
- An item is overdue
- An item has reached the maximum renewal limit
- An item is on 2-hours loan period
- An item has been declared lost and billed for replacement
- Borrower's account has outstanding charges
Recalled item(s)
All loan items are subject to recall if requested by another user or recalled by the Library. The user will receive a recall notice via email if their loaned item is recalled. Their loan period will be shortened from the date of recall. A new due date will supersede all previous loan periods or due dates.
To avoid incurring overdue fines or suspension of borrowing privilege, check your library record regularly and return the recalled item from the date of recall or by the original due date, whichever comes earlier.
Failure to return any recalled items by the recall date will incur a fine.
