Circulation Service

Library membership is open to the FNU community - staff and students.  A valid ID card is required to become a member and to be eligible to use the facility. The aim of Circulation is to provide the right documents to the right member at the right time. All FNU Libraries use HORIZON 7.5 Information Management System and barcode technology for circulation of books. The following table stipulates the borrowing guidelines for different members:
