Borrowing Procedures
Books may be borrowed by the Registered Library Members only. The FCC Identity Cards bear the Library Registration Number Bar Code. For borrowing library materials, the patrons should present their University ID Card at the Circulation Desk along with the Books to be borrowed from the Library. Please do not forget to obtain a receipt for the Check-in or check out activity, before leaving the circulation Desk.
Borrowing Privileges are strictly not transferable. Borrowing books on someone else’s card is not permissible.
