BORROWING OF BOOKS

The following steps are devised for all the borrowers in the BASC Library and shall be implemented strictly unless otherwise revised or altered.

• 1 Check the OPAC to verify if the book is available in the library.
  
• 2 In a piece of paper, copy the call number, author, and title of the book and location symbol if any.
  
• 3 Present the call number to the librarian/circulation assistant in desk for verification.
  
• 4 If the book is available, present validated library card for proper charging. Every book which may be borrowed from the library is equipped with date due slip and book card inserted in the pocket pasted at the back cover of the book.
  
• 5 The borrower removes card from the pocket, fill up the card and present this with the book to the librarian.
  
• 6 The librarian stamps in the date due slip when the book will be returned to the library. The library card and the book card are clipped together, and then filed until the book is returned.
  
• 7 Book may be returned before the due date, but is considered overdue if returned later than the date started in the card. Student may renew book after its due date if there is nodemand for it.
