iBooking System

With effect from 1 Jan 2015, iBooking regulations will be amended as follows in order to maximize the use of Library resources. The amendments are subject to review and will be revised as needed.

1. Single loan quota for all bookable facilities
   With this single loan quota for all bookable facilities (incl. PCs, research carrels, group study rooms and database workstations), users can only book one facility type for use in the same time period. For instance, booking of a PC and a room for use at the same time will not be allowed.

   The grace period for claiming any bookable facility (incl. PCs, research carrels and group study rooms) will be shortened to 10 minutes. Please check in your reserved facility on time and within 10 minutes of your booked session, otherwise your booking will be cancelled.

3. Re-booking – 5-minute time-out after checkout or booking cancellation/expiry
   A 5-minute time-out 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 they check out, they cancel their booking or their booking expires.
