Staff Borrowing
Library Card
Full-time staff who are currently registered with GUST automatically become Library members, and the GUST smart ID is the Library card.
You can borrow a maximum of 10 books for a period of 1 month.
Recalls and Renewals
All Library materials are subject to recall when another user places a hold (request) on the material(s). The original user will then have three days from the date of notice to return the recalled items regardless of the original due date. Items on hold are checked-out on a first-come-first-served basis and cannot be recalled.
Renewals may be made in person at the circulation desk or online via the Library online catalog. Items may be renewed up to two times online. After the second renewal, users must renew items in person at the Library's circulation desk.
