General Library Rules

The following rules ensure that the library remains a quiet, fair and well-resourced study space for everyone. They apply at all DTTI branches.

Conduct

• Observe silence; hold group discussions in the designated areas only.
• Mobile phones must be switched off or set to silent.
• Eating, drinking and smoking are prohibited in the library.
• Bags and coats are left at the provided points at the owner's risk.
• Treat staff and fellow users with courtesy at all times.

Borrowing

• Present your valid student ID card for every transaction.
• Course textbooks are primarily for use in the library; overnight and short-loan items are due back by the stated time.
• Return borrowed items on time — overdue items attract fines as displayed at the desk.
• You are responsible for replacing lost or damaged items.
• Reference materials, journals and special collection items do not leave the library.

Care of Materials

• Do not write in, fold or deface any library material.
• Report damaged items to the librarian rather than reshelving them.

Serious or repeated breaches are referred to the Dean of Students in line with the code of conduct.
