Faculty and Graduate Students Services
Circulation Services
Circulation Services provide access to general book collections in the Main Library
and Zayed Library, serving UAEU students, faculty and staff, and other community users.
Circulation staff answer questions in person, by telephone (03 713 4677/4678) and
online (circ_lib@uaeu.ac.ae) pertaining to library rights and responsibilities, borrowing privileges, checkouts
and renewals, reviewing patron records, paying fines for overdue or lost books, placing
online hold requests, and creating or changing a PIN.
Borrowing Privileges:
Faculty and graduate students need to use their University ID cards to borrow materials
and/or renew items. Faculty members are responsible for all fines/fees accrued on
their account, and should notify Circulation if their ID is lost or stolen to prevent
unauthorized borrowing. Faculty must provide written permission for another person
to borrow materials on their library account, but should take care to ensure all materials
are returned on time as fines/fees are assessed to the faculty member.
Loan Periods:
Faculty and graduate students may borrow General Collection and American Corner materials
up to a maximum of 20 books for 120 days (three months). Exceptions to this are Special
Collections and LIWA materials (two weeks), and Multimedia materials (one week).
Renewals:
Faculty and graduate students can renew books online, by telephone or at the Circulation
Desk. They are allowed three consecutive renewals for items in the General Collection,
and one renewal for items in Special Collections, American Corner, Multimedia and
LIWA. Renewals are not allowed if the item is on hold by another user, the user’s
record is blocked, this is beyond the renewal limit, and/or the accumulated fine is
AED 90.
Returning Materials:
Materials can be returned to the Circulation Desk in either the Main or Zayed Libraries.
Receipts may be requested for returned items.
Library Holds:
Borrowers may place a hold on circulating items within the library system. These include
items available on the shelf at another location or checked out by another user. As
a hold item becomes available, it will be kept at the Circulation Desk for a period
of three days and the requestor notified by email. Items not picked up after three
days will be re-shelved. If a borrower receives notification that an item they have
checked out has been requested by another user, and they fail to return that item,
they may lose borrowing privileges. Renewals follow the regular procedure, unless
another user has placed a hold on it.
LIWA Holds:
Faculty and graduate students may also request books from member libraries of the
UAE Higher Education Library Consortium (Zayed University and Higher Colleges of Technology)
by selecting the LIWA link in the online catalog.
Fines:
Fines are charged for overdue books at AED 2/item/day for overdue books and AED 4/item/day
for Multimedia materials. Fines are paid at the Main Library or Zayed Library Circulation
Desks with a charge card. Items must be returned by the borrower in order for fines
to be paid on that item. The maximum overdue fine for each item is AED 90.
Lost Books and Replacement Fees:
Fees are charged for lost books in addition to any accumulated fines. Fees include
a replacement cost and processing fee. If the borrower can replace the lost book with
an exact copy or later edition, then only the processing fee and any fines are charged.
