Materials needed for reserve use can be recalled at anytime. Overdue Notices Borrowed materials must be returned or renewed by the due date. If not, the borrower will be notified in the manner outlined below. Students Students who fail to return or renew borrowed materials by the due date will be notified via the library email. A maximum of two emails will be sent, after which the director of the library will contact the student affairs department requesting positive action. If the material is not returned or renewed within a week of the second email, the library issues a “Lost Book Notice” requesting the borrower to pay the charges involved. Faculty Members and Teaching Staff Overdue notices will be mailed every week to faculty and staff for materials that are not returned or renewed by the due date. A maximum of two overdue notices will be sent after which the director of the library will contact the defaulter. After the 2nd overdue notice, the patron will be blacklisted. The patron loses his/her borrowing privileges until he/she returns, renews or pays for the lost material. Fines on Overdue Books Students are charged a fine of 2 Dirhams (Dhs) a day per item (up to a maximum of 15 days) on late return of materials. If an item is more than 15 days late, the student pays the fine for the first 15 days, while his/her borrowing privileges are suspended for a number of days equal to those exceeding 15. Faculty members and teaching staff are charged a fine of 5 Dhs a day per item (up to 15 days) on late return of materials. If an item is more than 15 days late, faculty/staff pays the fine at the rate of 5 Dhs a day for the first 15 days and at the rate of 10 Dhs for each additional day. Lost, Damaged or Mutilated Materials Borrowers are responsible for any loss, damage or mutilation of materials charged to them. Those who underline words, deface mark, cut or mutilate a book if caught will pay the full cost involved in replacing it. Charges for lost, damaged or mutilated books are calculated as follows. The borrower pays the current list price or, if that price is not known, the price the library paid plus 50% handling and processing charges. A higher charge may be incurred if an item is out of print or hard to replace. If the lost material is found and returned by the patron within 30 days of payment, he/she is entitled to a refund provided that the material is returned in good condition. The normal overdue fines and penalties will, however be imposed. Borrowers will lose their borrowing privileges until all fines/charges are paid. Reserve The reserve system is a service that provides students with an all time access to materials that are requested reading for a particular course. At the beginning of each semester, faculty members may place materials on reserve for courses they teach. Reserve materials may include either or both of the following: Materials owned by the library. Materials belonging to faculty members. Materials are kept on reserve for the duration of the course, or as specified by the instructor on the reserve material request form. Reserve materials cannot be taken out of the Library. However and with the instructor’s permission, materials can be taken out overnight. 210
