Frequently Asked Questions
Are there designated loud places and quiet spaces in the Library?
No, but there are quieter and louder places located throughout the Library depending on user need (individual users tend to prefer quiet; while groups congregating for study or socializing appreciate being able to converse normally). The Library recognizes the need for both. We simply encourage users to be respectful of others at all times. Please talk with a Library staff member if you have a question or concern.
Can I hold any item?
You can also reserve an item by selecting ‘hold’ option through which you will enjoy priority to check out or borrow on those materials. To hold a book you need to first log in with your Library ID & Password. Then you can "Place hold" on items which are already checked out to another.
Does the Library have computers, wireless access for use?
Yes, there are computers at every floor adjacent to the circulation desk for database search, preparation of assignments and internet browsing. Wi-Fi accessibility is available to whole library premises.
