Each researcher can borrow up to 10 books for up to 4 weeks, students 7 books and the limit for a member of the general public is 5 books for up to 4 weeks. A user can search for books, thesis, magazines and other materials with a library catalogue. If a book is not available for borrowing, a reservation can be made and added to the reservation queue of the book. The library will send a note to the one whose reservation is on the top of the queue when the book is available. When a book is overdue, a fine will be started which will build up each day. The researcher and students have the same rate of overdue charge while it is twice as much for a member of the general public. A reminder of the overdue item is immediately issued to the borrower when the item becomes overdue.

Journals and magazines can be recommended only by researcher. These recommendations will be reviewed and approved by a Librarian.
