Revised iBooking Policy

To maximum the use of Library resources, with effect from 1 Jan 2015, iBooking regulations have been amended as follows:

  1. Single loan quota covering all bookable facilities

    From now on, users can only book one facility type for use for the same time period. This applies to all kinds of bookable facilities including PCs, research carrels, group study rooms, group viewing rooms and database workstations. For instance, users who have booked a PC for the period from 2 - 4pm today cannot reserve a research carrel for the same time period.

  2. Claiming reserved facilities – Grace period shortened to 10 minutes

    The grace period for claiming any bookable facility will be shortened to 10 minutes. Users are reminded to check in their reserved facility on time and within 10 minutes of the booked session, otherwise their bookings will be cancelled.

  3. Re-booking – available 5 minute after checkout or booking cancellation/expiry

    To avoid abusive reservations, a 5-minute break will be introduced after the checkout, booking cancellation/expiry before the same user can book the same facility again for the same booking session. Users can rebook the same facility 5 minutes after their bookings expire or after they check out or cancel their bookings.
