FAQ

You can borrow books by presenting your student ID at the branch office where the reserved books are stored or at the loan desk of the central library.

If you fail to pick the book up within 3 days (excluding the date of notice), it will become available to the next person in line. You will not be able to use the reservation service for the following 30 days.

For books that no longer need to be borrowed, be sure to cancel your reservation request.

If you lose or damage a book you borrowed, contact the library information service team immediately and report the incident first to avoid any disadvantages due to overdue returns.

If the book is published in Korea, you must purchase and submit it within 15 days. If the book is published overseas, you must purchase and submit it within 30 days.
