Information Retrieval Area

The second floor of the main building is equipped with "Information Retrieval Area" for readers over the age of 13, and readers under the age of 12 should go to the Children's Learning Center. This area provides computers for readers to inquire about digital resources or network resources of the library. Functions of the Information retrieval area are set out as follows:
  • Readers are required to make reservations via the Reservation System. Readers who hold the library card for borrowing books from the main library or the public library can use the reservation system to reserve their own seats. A reader can only reserve 1 seat for the same period. Reservations can only be made 14 days in advance (However, the reader cannot make any reservation for today if the reader would like to arrive at the library right away). Each reader may use the seat for 2 hours each time and two times each day at most. The computer will show prompts to the reader 10 minutes before time is up. And the system will automatically be logged out when the time is up.
