Temporary Reader Privileges On entering one of the libraries listed above, NTUST students can obtain temporary reader privileges to consult and use the library’s materials while in the library by exchanging their Student ID for a temporary reader card at the designated service desk (circulation, reference, or information desk). When the student is ready to leave the library, their Student ID will be returned when the temporary reader card is handed in.

Borrowing Privileges On entering one of the libraries listed above, NTUST students can obtain borrowing privileges to take materials out of the library by going to the designated service desk (circulation, reference, or information desk). Upon showing their Student ID, the student will be given a temporary borrowing privileges card. This card must be returned to the library within seven days. During that seven-day period, the student may borrow up to five books, which must be returned within 21 days (30 days at National Taipei University of Technology Library). No renewals or reservation of books will be allowed. Each library’s regulations on borrowing books and on overdue, lost or damaged books will be in effect for materials borrowed from that library. A student may have a temporary borrowing privileges card from more than one library at the same time, but only one card per library.

Special Note on E-Resources Our university library has made a considerable investment in subscription fees to make online databases, journals and other publications available to the entire university community. To locate these resources, go to the Library’s English homepage and click on the “E-Resources” link on the left-hand side of the page. You will find there many kinds of materials of use to your studies and research. If you have any problems accessing or using any of the databases or other materials, the Library staff will be glad to provide assistance.
