Flexible Loan

The Library will be implementing a new flexible loan system, in line with the libraries in UON and UNNC after migrating to the current library management system.

The changes include:

  • The automatic renewal of unrequested items on loan
  • Removal of short loan

Effective from 30th August 2019, all items in your library account will automatically be renewed daily, unless there is a request for a particular item.

Under the new flexible loan system:

  • there will no longer be items on short loan. Previous short-loan items will be re-designated as ordinary loan items, browsable on open shelves. All borrowed items will be issued out for seven days, unless the item is in high demand, in which case, the patron will only get the item for two days.
  • books on loan will automatically be renewed daily unless an item has been requested, or the borrower’s library account has an overdue item, or has accumulated fines of RM20 and above. If there is a request for a borrowed item, a notification email will be sent to the patron.
  • for hold requests of multiple copies, patrons only need to request by title, and the system will choose the next available copy for the patron.Please pick up your requested item quickly from the library, as we will only be holding the item for two days.
  • Patrons will be fined for overdue books requested by another patron. The fine for overdue items will be RM1 per day, per item.
