Lending of library materials
This is done at circulation section of the library which is the central point of most library transactions. Users may loan, return, renew and reserve library materials from the Open Shelves.
Short loans
This service is offered at the Reserve Section which houses all scarce and heavily used materials for users. Reserve materials may only be used in the Reserve study section during opening hours or may be borrowed overnight or over weekend.
Interlibrary loans
Materials which are not part of the library collection can be requested from other libraries for users. Only staff members and post graduate students can use this service.

24 hour reading room
