An e-mail about due date will be sent to your Waseda mail (for library card users and professors emeriti, preferred email address registered in the library system) 5 days before the due date.
When users lost / damaged books, please report to library desks immediately. Users are required to pay for compensations following the library rules.
When Waseda University libraries close temporarily due to official weather warnings, for example, and the due date falls on that day, please consult at circulation desk with the materials before returning them. We deal with it so that you receive no disadvantage.
When the due date falls on a day when the library is temporarily closed and another user has placed on hold/recalled the overdue materials, borrowing privileges will be suspended. You may not borrow new materials until the overdue materials are returned.
In case that a borrower misses the due date to return library materials, he/she receives penalties. When borrowing privilege is suspended at one library on campus, this is also subject to apply at other libraries in Waseda University.
If someone places a hold on the book that you are borrowing but you don’t return it by the due date, your borrowing privileges will be suspended. You will not be able to borrow new books as long as the overdue book remains unreturned. Once the overdue book is returned, your borrowing privileges will be resumed.
Loan period can be renewed from “My Library”([Menu] at the upper right of WINE → My Library). However, in case that a book is placed a hold by other users or user’s borrowing privileges have been suspended, loan period cannot be extended. Please return the book by the due date.
