Other Conditions
There are some books that cannot be borrowed. Students cannot borrow journals.
You can also extend the borrowing term. For example, if you are freshman student, you can borrow books for 14days and extend the borrowing term one more time (In other words, you can borrow books for 28days in sum total). If you'd like to do that, you must bring materials you borrowed to the counter and tell librarians to extend the borrowing term. Please take the procedure by the day you were told.
