SELF ISSUE/RETURN/RENEW

The Vikram Sarabhai Library is introducing a new service “Self issue/return/renew of books” using Kiosk.

Library users can issue/return/renew the books by themselves. This service will be operational round the clock. The users can use the Kiosk (near security desk) in the library for this service.

Instructions:

Please carry your RFID ID cards for making use of this service. In case you do not have the RFID ID cards, please contact the circulation desk.
You will receive an email for every issue/return/renew transaction on your institute email ID.
After issue or renewal of books through the Kiosk, a print receipt will be issued at the Kiosk, which you need to deposit at the security desk, while leaving the library.
While returning the books no slip will be issued and the acknowledgement for return of books will be received on your institute email id.
Please note that the library will not stamp due date (return/renew) in the books issued through the Kiosk.
The staff assisted circulation service will continue as usual (9.00 am to 10 pm) on all days.
Please contact the library staff for any help in using the self issue/return kiosk or call on 079-66324977

Virtual Reality (VR) is often associated with video games, and for good reason. Most VR development is in service of immersive, unique gaming experiences that simply aren’t possible via any other medium. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are technologies gaining more ground, and their uses in libraries and for educational purposes are expanding.

By incorporating Virtual Reality (VR) App, libraries can offer access to latest technologies and create unique learning and experiential opportunities for their users.

BOOK DROP BOX FACILITY

On the suggestion of students, the Vikram Sarabhai Library initiated a drop box facility in the new campus for returning of library books. The book drop box has been placed at the entrance of the underpass from the new campus near the AXIS Bank ATM. This is to facilitate easy return of issued library books by just dropping the books inside the drop box instead of coming physically to the library to return the book.

Please find below the rules regarding the Drop Box Facility:

Users may return their issued book/s through the library drop-box.
The Library will arrange to collect the books daily at 5 p.m. The user will get a confirmation mail from library circulation once the book is returned in the library software.
All returned books are subject to Library checking. Readers are responsible for any loss/damage/marking/underlining/highlighting or sticky notes of all kinds, mutilating or tearing pages, etc.
Large sized books that do not fit into the drop box should be returned at the Library circulation counter during library hours. Please do not keep them outside the drop box.
