register with the Library must present an up-to-date UWI
identification card at the time of registering, and also at the
beginning of each academic year.
2. All readers must register with the Library before using
facilities.
3. Registered students in courses offered by the School of
Education may borrow seven items.
4. A pocket must be surrendered for each item borrowed.
A reader is responsible for any book or other item for
which the Library holds a loan form signed by the student.
This responsibility ends only when the loan is officially
cancelled.
5. Readers’ pockets are not transferable. It is a serious offence
to lend or borrow pockets.
6. Certain publications may, on no account, be removed from
the Library. These include reference books, bound journals,
fragile materials, theses and dissertations.
7. Items are normally loaned for two (2) weeks. They may be
renewed for another two-week period, provided they have
not been requested by other readers. In any event, not
more than two renewals will be allowed.
8. Special Reserve items may be taken out on‘overnight’loans
only by the staff and students of the School of Education,
provided that such items are not single copies. Such books
may be checked out one (1) hour before closing time, and
must be returned by 0900 hours on the next working day.
9. Non-Reserve items may also be checked out at least one
hour before closing time. Borrowers are requested to
examine materials thoroughly and report all damage,

Education Library.
11. All materials loaned will be subject to recall by the Librarian
at any time.

removed from the Library.
13. The Librarian is empowered to levy a fine upon all readers
who fail to return library material within the prescribed
period. The fine for late return of books will be fifty cents
for each day the loan is overdue. This will apply equally to
short- and long-term loans and books recalled to satisfy
other borrowers’ requests which are not returned by the
special time. The fine for late return of books reserved for
overnight use will be twenty five cents per hour for the first
three hours, after which, in addition to the fine, the reader’s
overnight borrowing privileges will be suspended.
14. The fines levied above shall not exceed $50.00 per item.
Damage to Library material on loan to a reader should be
reported immediately. The reader must pay the current
cost of replacing a lost or seriously damaged book or other
item, in addition to any fine which he may have incurred
prior to reporting the loss or damage.
15. If after due notice, a fine or replacement cost of item has not
been paid, the Librarian is authorised to request the Bursar
to arrange for the amount of the fine to be recovered by
the university. Borrowing privileges will also automatically
be suspended.
16. All registered students are also entitled to use the Main
Library. Registration must be done at the Circulation Desk
at the Main Library, and university identification cards must
be presented.
