You just need to show your student ID and you can check out library materials or claim your Interlibrary Loan-requested item. It is also worth noting that undergraduate and graduate students have different loan periods in borrowing library materials.

Printers are located on the ground floor and first floor. Scanners are located on the ground floor and first floor. The entire building is supplied with wireless Internet access.
