Borrow, Return, Renew & Reserve: 4. Borrowing items

   1. Check the availability of any item you intend to borrow in advance at https://opac.xjtlu.edu.cn.

   2. Items can be checked out at the self-borrowing and returning machines using your valid XJTLU ID card or QR Code, or at the Library Circulation Desk with your valid XJTLU ID card. 

   3. Check the items for any damages on the spot when you borrow items from the library. Make a statement to the staff if you find any item defaced or damaged, and ask to affix the library’s seal before you check it out. Otherwise the last borrower will be fined for the damage.

Note

• If an item is overdue, no fines will be charged, but reminder emails will continue to be sent. However, the borrowing privileges (including borrowing, renewal, reservation and inter-branch book delivery) will be temporarily suspended until the overdue item is returned. 
• If you lose your XJTLU ID card and have applied for a new one, the previous one will be invalid. 

NOTE: 

• Special Collections, Newspapers, Current Journals and Bound Journals are not for loan. They can only be used inside the library. Past Exam Papers can be accessed online through the Library Homepage. (Library preserves the exam papers of the last three years and is only responsible for the storing and releasing of these past exam papers but not responsible for explaining their contents or answering any other requests.) 

• Course Reserves items must be returned before the Library Circulation Desk closing hours on the borrowed day. At most 2 items can be requested at one account.
• Library reserves the right to call back any book in special cases. The recalled books should be returned within 3 days after you receive a recall email by the library.
