Notes to JULAC Card Holders - Borrower (students only) from other UGC Institutions:
If you need to borrow books, return books or collect recalled items during the affected period, please note the following:
- Instead of borrowing books from us in person, you may consider using ILL+HKALL borrowing services or interlibrary loan services of your home library.
- To return books, you may bring them to your home library and use the JULAC Book Return Service instead.
- If you want to return books in person, please use the bookdrop located outside our Library. For books with accompanying fragile materials such as CD-ROMs, please return them to the slot for “MEDIA RETURN” drop box outside the Library.
- To collect recalled items, you may come during the accessible time. If your schedule only allows you to come during the non-accessible time, you have to show your book pickup notice to the security guard in order to gain access into the Library.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused to users concerned. All restrictions will be lifted and normal access will resume after the examination period. For affected users who have genuine urgent research / academic need to use our Library during the non-accessible period and for any enquiries, please contact us by email: [email protected].
