(4)                 Lost Books

Readers are responsible for the safe-keeping of all books issued to them, and are required to pay for replacement in the event of loss or damage. If a reader loses a book, it should be reported to the Librarian. A period of time will be allowed for the reader to find it. Refusal to pay for such loss will be referred to the Management.

(5)                 Mutilation and Theft

It needs little imagination to realize that mutilation is a serious anti­social activity which impairs the usefulness of these publications not only for present readers but for future generation of users, and since such publications may be unobtainable again at any cost. Therefore any person who mutilates or steals the Library books will face the severity of NISLT discipline.

1. Briefcases, bags, nylons, foods drinks, etc must not be taken into the library.
2. Books and journals consulted in the library should be left on the table and not returned to the shelves. This is to make sure that they are put back in their correct places by trained library staff.
