BITS Library circulation policies are designed to permit prompt and equitable access to library materials. Circulation privileges are automatically accorded to those holding valid BITS photo ID. It must be presented on request in order to use the Library’s facilities and collections. The circulation service relates to:
books which are borrowed from a closed collection for limited time (one or two hours) within the Library depending on the rules of the Library
books that can be taken out on a loan (for two to three weeks) depending on the rules of the library
Please note that:
the library follows a closed access system or “Closed Stack”. Only members of the library staff can retrieve materials upon request by users.
The Library renders reference services to its users by availing such materials as Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, Directories, Biographical dictionaries, Geographical dictionaries, etc.
In cases where the required information or reference material is not available in the Library, the reference staff will request needed resources from other local libraries or those abroad.
The library has a periodicals section where materials such as a daily newspaper, a weekly/monthly news magazine, etc. are kept. Patrons can only use these periodicals in the place designated for periodical services.
The reading areas of the library are open to all Library users while the Library is open.
The digital library service provides access to electronic information resources within the College’s Intranet / Local Area Network/. Limited computers are available which are free to use for up to an hour. You can use these computers to access the Internet or the library resources and the catalogue.
The ICT Office of the College manages the IT infrastructure for the College Library. Issues related to user login or digital library use should be reported to the library personnel.
