Books borrowed from the library must be returned within a fortnight. The Librarian can recall the books issued without previous notice.
Due date is marked on the date label inside the book.
If a book is not returned on the due date, the student will be charged Rs.1 per day (holiday inclusive ) per book as fine.
Library catalogues are available for reference at the counter. Printed catalogues of department library will be issued to the students.
Internet Browsing and Searching facility for holding (OPAC) are available b) Internet facility is provided only for educational purpose and not for social networking
Each issuing of a book is to be registered by the student in the respective registers available at each counter.
It is the duty of the borrowers to take maximum care of the library books issued to them . Please help us to keep the book fresh and clean.Dog- earing the pages of a book, marking or writing therein with ink or pencil, tearing out of its pages, and spoiling of binding will cause injury to a book. Any such injury to a book is a serious offence. Unless the borrower points out the injury at the time of borrowing the book, he/she shall be required to replace the book or pay the price of the latest edition of the book, including postage. It is left to the discretion of the authorities to press for a heavier penalty.
For loss of book the following procedure will be followed :- i) If new edition or copies of the lost books are available with the book suppliers, the book has to be replaced by a new one. ii) If the lost book is not available for replacement the value of the lost book will be realised at the following rates :- a) 10 times the face value of the books which are published prior to 1-1-1946 b) 6 times the face value of the books which are published between 1-1-1946 to 1-1-1970 c) Thrice the facevalue of the book which are published after 1-1-1970 d) If the book value cannot be ascertained from the library stock register compensation will be fixed on the basis of the market price of similar publication at the time of fixation.
Periodicals, Journals, Reference Books, rare and out-of-print books will not be issued to be taken outside the Library.
Final year students are required to return their library books and tickets to the library before proceeding to collect the ‘Hall Ticket’. They should obtain a ‘No due Certificate’ from the library.
A member of the teaching staff is allowed to borrow 10 books at a time including both the general and department Library. Teachers are allowed to borrow text books prescribed for their subjects only. In any case the total numberof books borrowed shall not exceed 10 at a time.
A member of the Non-teaching staff may borrow two books at a time from the library.
The members of the staff will sign the issue-register while borrowing the books. While returning the book, they will make sure that the library assistant has put his signature, in the issue register.
All books borrowed from the Library by members of the Teaching and Non-teaching staff must be returned with in 14 days.
The books of Christ College Library are primarily meant for the staff and students of Christ College. To borrow books for the benefit of those not belonging to our college community is, therefore evidently unfair. It is the duty of the librarian to inform the Principal about the suspected violation of this guideline.
