Lending Services

The library materials are purposefully selected to facilitate quality learning and teaching of all programmes offered in the College. Lending services are available at the Circulation Counter until 30 minutes before closing of the Library.

Borrowing

TWC users may borrow library materials with a valid College ID card. All Library materials must be checked out at the Circulation Counter properly. There may be disciplinary action against any users who removes library materials from the Library without proper checkout or authorization. If the location of an item is shown as Off-campus Storage, users may place an online request to borrow it. Please allow up to 14 working days for processing and delivery of your request.

Hold Requests

User can request loaned items from Circulation Collection via the TWC Search. An email notice will be sent to alert the user when the item is ready to be picked up. Requested items will be released after the last pick-up date indicated in the email notice.

Recall

Books on loan to borrower may be “recalled” back to the Library when they are requested by other borrowers. It may lead to a recall of the checked out items and may shorten their due date, i.e. 14 days from the date of recall. The recalled items cannot be renewed.

An email notice will be sent to alert the user when the loaned item is recalled. Please return the recalled items to the Library Circulation Counter on or before the due date indicated in the email notice.

Loss or damage of loan items should be reported to the Library as soon as possible. A charge for lost/damaged library materials will be imposed.

Assumed Lost

A loaned item that overdue for 90 days is assumed lost. The borrower will be billed accordingly and his/her borrowing privileges will be suspended.

The charge is calculated based on the replacement cost of the lost item, a processing fee of $60 and the maximum overdue fine. All assumed lost items remain property of the Library. All sums paid are non-refundable.

Circulation Notices

All library notices, including overdue notice and hold pick-up notice, will be sent to users’ College e-mail accounts as a courtesy. Failure to read or receive an e-mail notice does not relieve the borrow from responsibility for overdue items or resulting fines.
