Library Rules

The College Library aims to provide all students and staff with a quite and conducive environment for reading, study and research. This means that all Library users should behave appropriately and help ensure that all Library facilities and materials are kept in good working condition.
As a responsible Library user, you should observe the following rules and regulations. If you fail to follow these rules, the Librarian is authorised to ask you to leave the Library immediately.

  • Silence should be observed in the Library at all times. If you wish to discuss your work, we have introduced the new collaboration area in our Main Library. Thus, you can have your project discussion at designated area. 
  • Mobiles phones and other beeping electronic devices should be turned off or switched to the 'Silent' mode.
  • No food or drinks may be brought into the Library.
  • Students should be in full uniform when they are in the library.
  • Bags, satchels etc. are not to be taken beyond the turnstiles. Shelves are provided along the corridors at the entrance for you to store your bags and other belongings. Do not leave your valuables in your bags. Please bring them into the Library with you to prevent them from being stolen. Even though there is a video surveillance camera installed in the corridor, you are responsible for the safety of your personal belongings.
  • After reading, you should return books and periodicals to their proper places on the shelves. If you notice a misplaced book, the Library staff would be grateful if you could help return it to the correct shelf.
  •  In order to ensure that everyone gets an equal opportunity to use the Library facilities, the reservation of seats in the Library for your friends is  not allowed.
  • Damaging any Library materials - books, periodicals, etc. -- is a serious offence. Students found doing so will be dealt with accordingly.
  • Students should observe the proper borrowing procedures and go through the securitygate when taking Library materials out of the Library. In addition, all books, files, etc. should be voluntarily submitted for checking at the check-out counter.
There are two fire exits in the Library, one at each end of the Library. These exits are only to be used during emergencies of fire drills.
