As the University Library system has been upgraded, all library users are required to read and fill in the declaration at the relevant webpage (MY LIBRARY ACCOUNT at account.icto.um.edu.mo). Readers' data (such as user account, user account code, patron type, patron name, email address, faculty/unit) will be transferred to overseas cloud servers for working storage. If you did not sign this declaration, the library system did not have data for processing.
After “Reader data transfer declaration”filled out, you can present your UM Campus Card at the Circulation Counter of the library, or use Self Check-Out System with UM Campus Card, for the Check-Out process.
Zone C at the Ground Floor of the Library, closer to the back entrance.
In general, counter service hours are from 09:00 to 20:30 from Monday to Friday, and from 10:00 to 17:30 on Saturday and Sunday. For the latest information, please refer to the Library Website at https://library.um.edu.mo/lib_info/openhours_en.
As the Library has an Open Shelf policy, you are advised to check the correct bookshelves again after a day or several hours because the requested book might be temporarily unavailable at the bookshelves for a variety of reasons, such as being used by another reader, the process of re-shelving, stolen and so on.
If you are still not able to locate the book, you can approach the Circulation Counter at the G/F of the Library for help.
You may renew books prior to the due date in several ways:
You can choose to renew the borrowing items on due. Please log on “My Library Account” ” on the landing webpage of UM Library, select the books from your borrowing record under “LOANS” and click the “Renew” button. The new due date will be shown after successful renewal.
Or, you can choose to return the borrowing items with the Library Book Drop. The Library will process the books returned on the next working day. You can login your library account to check the returning record after that.
Borrowers are responsible for returning their loans on or before the due date. In case of late return, borrowers will receive overdue notices and suspension of the borrowing privileges as presented hereunder.
