Book reserves are processed upon academic staffs' submission. Library staff processes book on a first-come, first-served basis. For best results, we suggest that you submit Reserve lists one month before the beginning of each semester.
Please note: Processing times are approximate and will vary depending on the time of the semester, the amount and availability of materials, and other factors. Library-owned materials needed for Reserves are often out on loan and must be recalled before they can be processed. This can cause significant delays. Although we are committed to making Course Reserve books available when needed, we cannot guarantee processing time.
Loan period:
Course Reserves items must be returned before the Circulation Desk closing hours on the borrowed day.
At most 2 items can be requested at one account.
Course Reserves items are not allowed to renew and reserve.
Fines for overdue reserves:
Due to the great demand for items on Course Reserves, fines are high in order to deter borrowers from keeping materials past the due date and time.
A 0.5 RMB per day/item will be charged for any overdue item.
When Course Reserves are overdue, your borrowing privileges will be blocked until you return them.
If you continue to deprive others of Course Reserves materials by keeping them overdue, you may be barred from all Course Reserves checkouts. You may also be reported to the Student Affairs Office, and your name may be given to the course instructor.
