Members are accountable for all borrowed books. All final year student members must obtain a “No Dues Certificate” from the University. The Course Completion/Mark Sheet and Degree Certificate will only be issued upon presenting this No Dues Certificate from the University Library. Similarly, staff members intending to leave the Institution must settle all dues, including ID cards, and obtain a No Dues Certificate (NOC) from the University Librarian.

LOSS OF ID CARDS

Any loss of ID cards (Smart Card 4K) must be reported to the University Library immediately so that they can be blocked.

Duplicate ID cards can be issued by the Central Library ID Card Section upon payment, provided that members give an undertaking agreeing to be liable for any loss due to the unintentional use or misuse of the lost card.

LENDING OF BOOKS

Student members may borrow non-reference books for a duration of 15 days only. Teachers may borrow books for a full semester. Reference Books, Encyclopedias, Handbooks, Dictionaries, Periodicals, Student Project Reports, Dissertations, Theses, and Back Volumes are available for reference only and will not be issued.

Two renewals are allowed if there are no reservations for the book. To renew, the books must be presented at the library counter. Members can also renew books online using their login at https://43.246.137.53:8080/AutoLib/. Before leaving the counter, members should verify that the books they plan to borrow are in acceptable condition and report any damage or markings to the Librarian, or risk being held accountable for the book’s condition. High-demand books may be borrowed for shorter periods and can be recalled at any time. Absence will not be considered a valid reason for delays in returning or renewing books.

OVERDUE CHARGES (Late Fee)

Members are urged to return or renew their books by the due date indicated on the book; otherwise, a penalty will incur. The penalty structure is as follows:

01-15 days Rs.1/- per day

16-30 Days Rs.2/- per day (calculated from day one)

31 days and above Rs.5/- per day (calculated from day one)

Failure to return books punctually may lead to cancellation of membership.

LOSS OF BOOKS

Any lost books must be reported to the library at once, and the member must replace them with a new copy, along with any overdue fees. If the book was purchased within 5 years, the replacement cost will be double the price of the book. For books over 5 years old, the member may pay three times the cost of the book plus any overdue charges, if applicable.

RESERVATION OF BOOKS

Members can reserve books that have been checked out through the library’s website: https://emanager.srmist.edu.in/elibrary/Home.jsp. Members will be notified of the availability via email, or they can check their reservation status on the library website. Reserved books will be held at the issue counter for two days. If members do not collect their reserved books within this time frame, the books will be made available to the next member on the wait list.

GENERAL

All members must visibly display their identity cards and present them to security upon request.

Personal items such as books, files, bound materials, and other possessions (excluding small notebooks or loose papers) are not permitted inside the library. Members must leave their personal belongings at the deposit counter located near the entrance.

Silence must be maintained at all times within the library.

The use of mobile phones within the library is strictly forbidden.

Members are responsible for any damage they cause to books or other college property. If damage occurs, they will be required to replace the book or any other affected item.

Any form of misconduct in the library may result in the revocation of membership and additional disciplinary measures.

Marking or writing in library books is completely forbidden. If any damage or markings are discovered, the responsible member will be obligated to replace the book.

Notwithstanding any of the above points, the decisions made by the University authorities are final in all matters.

RETENTION POLICY

The library will present details regarding damaged books, CDs, and similar items to the library committee for their recommendations, and periodicals will be reviewed and potentially withdrawn every three years. The committee’s recommendations will be submitted to the authorities for final approval.
