It is strictly prohibited to mark, detach or damage books or any other material which belongs to the library. Any marks or damages to books should be reported by the students/ staff members before those are issued from the counter. In the absence of such reports, the book will be presumed to be in good condition when loaned and the borrower will be held responsible and fined for any damages observed at the time the books are returned. The borrower will be liable to pay the cost of replacement of the item either damaged or lost, according to the Cost Recovery Policy in the Library.

Also, the borrower could replace the item with a new one (same or latest edition). However, it will be requested to pay these additional charges:

  • Departmental charges
  • Overdue charges (if any)
  • Other applicable charges (if any)

Payment of cost of replacement

Cost of the replacement should be paid to the shroff counter of the IBMBB after obtaining the voucher from the library. After making the payment, the paid voucher should be produced to the library counter to cancel the overdue to the library. Until the paid vouchers are produced to the library, overdue of the users will not be cancelled. Replacement cost is calculated according to the Library by Law No: 01 of the IBMBB.
