Policies

• Circulation Information

Library circulation policies are designed to ensure prompt and equitable access to our library materials by all users. (Specific policies may vary somewhat between central and other departmental libraries.) Specific information about lending privileges for various groups (i.e. faculty, student, visitor, etc.) can be found here.

• The Mathematics Library's resources can be issued to users affiliated to a department of IISc only. Non-affiliated users of IISc facilities cannot borrow books from this library.


• You are requested to have your Library/Institutional ID in your possession to check out any library materials.


• Any item borrowed from the library is subject to recall at any time, including during break periods and the summer months. We strongly urge you to return books to the Mathematics Library if you plan to be away from campus, particularly over breaks.


• You are personally responsible for the prompt and safe return of all library material checked out to you. Do not loan your books to others or leave them in an area where they may be stolen or damaged. To keep track of book due dates and to renew books, check your account online, or contact the library.


• It is your responsibility to notify the library immediately if library material is lost, stolen, or damaged.


• All borrowed books must be returned, regardless of due date, if the borrower leaves the department.
